IAEA rulemaking
|
The IAEA develops its own rules by consensus of the Member States. The tasks of GRS include support of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN) when commenting on drafts of the so-called safety standards. As part of the Member States' comment process, GRS collects the comments of the expert organisations, the industry and the public and compiles them in a quality-assured form. |

Harmonisation of European safety standards (WENRA)
The Western European Nuclear Regulators Association (WENRA) is an association of 19 European supervisory and regulatory authorities. One of the objectives is the harmonisation of nuclear safety in Europe. GRS supports the BMUKN in scientific and technical issues within the framework of the Reactor Harmonisation Working Group (RHWG) and Working Group on Research Reactors (WGRR).
