In 2016, WENRA decided to develop Safety Reference Levels for research reactors. To this end, an ad-hoc working group was initially formed, which has since been established as permanent Working Group on Research Reactors (WGRR). In November 2020, WENRA published a set of Safety Reference Levels for research reactors for the first time: WENRA Safety Reference Levels for Research Reactors, November 2020.
In April 2021 WENRA endorsed a proposed 5-year plan of WGRR and decided to continue the WGRR as the third working group of WENRA.
The 5-year plan contains the following main activities:
- Self-assessment and benchmarking the implementation of the SRLs in the national frameworks and installations
- Updating and expanding the SRLs (several subtasks)
- Participation in the creation of the Technical Specification of the Topical Per Review
- Participation in the creation of a new SRL structure with other Working Groups
- Exchange of experience on selected topics
