PNRA
  • Our Vision
  • To become a world class regulatory body with
    highly trained, competent and dedicated personnel
    with a zeal to foster a positive safety culture
    in their licensees and to regulate nuclear safety
    to protect the public, the workers and the
    environment from the harmful effects of radiation
    and in a manner that wins the confidence of all
    the stakeholders
  • Our Mission
  • To ensure the safe operation of nuclear
    facilities and to protect the radiation workers,
    general public and the environment from the
    harmful effects of radiation by formulating and
    implementing effective regulations and building a
    relationship of trust with the licensee and
    maintain transparency in actions and decisions
    taken by the regulatory authority.

Shared objectives of Nuclear Safety and Nuclear
Security
  • The shared objective is to protect people and
    environment from the potential risk from
    radioactive material and associated facilities
  • Both consider and deal with the human behavior
    which is important for the establishment and
    enhancement of culture.
  • Both strive for
  • handling the complacency
  • achieving high standards of honesty and integrity
  • Establishing an effective management system

Cultural
Generative Safety Security is built into the
way we work and think
Reactive Safety Security is important we do
lots of it after every accident
14
Safety and Security Culture Approach
  • Nuclear Safety Culture
  • Nuclear Security Culture
  • Places an additional emphasis on deliberate acts
  • Immediate response to confirmed or perceived
    threats/ incidents requiring restriction on
    communication to authorized persons
  • Risk of inadvertent human error
  • Overriding concern for transparency and dialogue
    leading to sharing of information

Safety and security culture coexist and need to
reinforce each other because they share the
common objective of limiting risk. There will be
occasions where there are differences between
safety and security requirements. Therefore, an
organization in charge of nuclear matters has to
foster an approach that integrates safety and
security in a mutually supporting manner.
15
Synergy of Safety and Security Culture
  • Safety and security cultures need to reinforce
    each other and organization has to foster an
    approach that integrates safety and security in a
    mutually supporting manner.

16
Safety Culture
  • Continuous safety improvement is the
    organizational goal with eagerness to escalate
    the safety level step by step all the time
  • Staff is committed to develop and embed a safety
    culture in all activities and decisions that
    recognizes the importance and value of effective
    safety management and acknowledges that safety is
    paramount
  • Each individual adopts the attributes and follow
    the norms/principles of safety culture to
    maintain and enhance safety which will ultimately
    lead to ensure protection of public, worker and
    environment

17
Nuclear Security Culture
  • Appropriate Nuclear Security Culture ensures that
    the implementation of nuclear security measures
    receive the attention warranted by their
    significance
