FOREWORD
The construction readiness review (CORR) mission for nuclear power plant projects has been established with the aim of conducting peer reviews of construction projects related to nuclear power plants. Such a mission provides a detailed assessment of readiness for construction, construction progress, readiness for turnover, as well as recommendations for improvement. Organizations in Member States, such as nuclear utilities, owners, regulators and technical support organizations, can benefit from such reviews. A team of international experts with complementing specialities will conduct the CORR mission. The review is based on appropriate IAEA publications, such as IAEA Safety Standards Series Guides and IAEA Nuclear Energy Series publications, as well as on internationally recognized project and construction management guides. Mission findings are summarized in a mission report, which includes a list of recommendations, suggestions and identified good practices. The review is not intended to be a regulatory inspection or an audit against international codes and standards. Rather, it is a peer review aimed at improving implementation processes and procedures through an exchange of technical experiences and practices at the working level. The mission is applicable at any stage of a nuclear power plant construction project, although two specific phases are targeted: (1) start of construction mission (Phase 1 mission) and (2) an in-progress mission (Phase 2 mission). Missions are initiated when official requests are submitted by Member States through the appropriate IAEA channels. The IAEA officer responsible for this publication was J.H. Moore of the Division of Nuclear Power.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTION READINESS REVIEW MISSION GUIDELINES
A construction readiness review (CORR) is an assessment of an NPP project’s construction
preparedness, based on counterpart requirements, interviews, analysis and observations. It
can be held at various project stages. Specific review stages may be prior to start of major
construction, major milestones, or as otherwise requested by the counterpart. The assessment
includes a review of planning of major milestones, preparedness for subsequent phases,
assessment of major risks and issues, and engineering and construction readiness.
These guidelines provide structure for a CORR mission. They are addressed principally to the
construction review team, but also provide guidance to the mission counterpart in preparing
for the mission. Publications referenced in these guidelines provide additional information.
These mission guidelines are designed to be applicable to both new construction and major
refurbishments. CORR missions are desirable for new NPP construction projects (e.g. first-
of-a-kind, first-in-a-country, first on a particular site etc.), and whenever a counterpart
desires independent feedback on NPP project readiness to proceed to its construction phase.
Subsequent projects (e.g. second or third unit, etc.) on a particular site constructed by an
established project team might benefit from a CORR mission targeted at lessons learned from
previous construction activities.
The guidelines are intended to assist construction review team and counterpart members in
performing the review. They are not exhaustive and should not limit reviewer investigations,
but rather should be considered as illustrative of typical requirements for successful
construction projects for which such reviews are carried out. Reviewers will apply judgement
and experience to decide what topics require more in-depth evaluation during the mission.
1.2. CONSTRUCTION READINESS REVIEW MISSION OBJECTIVES
CORR missions are comprehensive reviews directly addressing strategic and key elements
associated with implementing NPP construction projects. They are conducted by a team of
international experts with direct experience applicable to the areas of review. Judgements of
compliance are made on the basis of IAEA publications (see references in this publication),
and on the combined judgement of the international review team.
The review is neither a regulatory inspection nor is it an audit against national or
international codes and standards. Rather, it is aimed at improving the implementation,
procedures and practices being followed through an exchange of technical experience and
practices (peer review).
Objectives of Construction Readiness review missions are to:
• Assess strategy, organization, leadership, management vision, goals, methods and
processes;
• Identify project management, engineering, procurement, quality management, human
resources, construction readiness, and construction completion assurance related issues
or concerns related to the project under review;
• Identify issues, make observations, and identify good practices related to the project
under review;
2
• Facilitate personal exchanges of experience.
To fulfil these objectives, the CORR mission aims to provide the counterpart with a mission
report providing:
• The team’s assessment of the state of construction readiness and processes related to
the project under review;
• Recommendations and suggestions for improvement in areas where performance may
appear to fall short of recognized international good practices;
• Good practices identified during the course of the review.
The process will provide counterpart experts, expert reviewers from Member States, and
IAEA staff with opportunities to broaden their experience and knowledge. It will also
provide key counterpart staff with an opportunity to discuss their practices with experts who
have experience in the same field.
1.3. CONSTRUCTION READINESS REVIEW MISSION SCOPE
Construction Readiness review missions are focused on the project under review, and the
review basis and reference documents agreed to be used. They address project construction
readiness and associated aspects, unless there is a specific request from the counterpart to
include additional items. Such additional items might include, (1) specific design issues and
technologies (outside of design readiness), (2) project economic viability, (3) long term
investment strategies related to the NPP fleet (4) portions of other IAEA review services, or
others. Review missions typically do not discuss specific issues related to the choice of NPP
provider, or specific contract terms and conditions.
Scope definition occurs during the mission’s preparatory phase (see Section 2.2), and is
based upon mutual agreement of the construction readiness review team leader and
counterpart.
1.4. ORGANIZATION OF THIS DOCUMENT
Section 2 provides guidelines regarding overall CORR mission organization, from the
preparatory phase to follow-up missions.
Section 3 provides guidelines regarding principles and techniques to be applied during the
mission.
Appendix I provides suggested contents of an advance information package (AIP) to be
prepared by the counterpart.
Appendix II provides a list of potential subjects for scope definition of a specific CORR
mission. It is used as a discussion tool with the counterpart.
Appendix III provides a mission report template, including templates for issue sheets.
The above Appendixes are available in electronic form for preparation of specific mission
reports by the construction review team.

2. ORGANIZATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION READINESS REVIEW MISSION
2.1. OVERVIEW OF THE CONSTRUCTION READINESS REVIEW (CORR)
PROCESS
A construction readiness review mission is initiated based on a formal request through
official IAEA channels from an organization of a Member State (e.g. nuclear utility,
regulatory authority, technical support and design organization). Actions prior to this request
are not the object of, and are not discussed in, this guideline.
A construction readiness review mission is typically performed at one or both of the NPP
construction project phases shown in Table 1, with follow-ups as requested by the
counterpart.
TABLE 1. TYPICAL CORR MISSION PHASES AND TIMING
Phase Title Description/Timing
1 Construction Readiness Review
Phase I Mission Review
Prior to start of major construction activities (approx.
2 months prior). For new NPPs this would mean prior
to first concrete pour.
2 Construction Progress.
Phase II Mission Review
Done approx. at 30-50% construction stage (usually 2
months prior to first significant NPP system/area
handover)
Construction review related activities are based upon:
• Documentation describing processes applicable to the project under review including, but
not limited to, procedures and performance metrics in use or to be used during the
construction phase, corrective action processes, and documentation demonstrating how
they support the overall project;
• Interviews and discussions with counterpart staff and support organizations;
• Written procedures and methods associated with design, specification, procurement,
warehousing, installation, verification, validation, and testing of the project under review;
• Written documentation related to qualification of personnel, as well as systems, structures,
and components (SSCs) related to the project under review;
• Observations of planning, coordinating, and construction activities and associated
oversight processes
The review focuses on performance in technical areas, related regulatory requirements,
managerial aspects of policy implementation, control/coordination of related activities,
continuous review and improvement of activities, as well as document control.
The principles and guidance for the CORR mission service are those outlined in IAEA
publications and safety standards (see Refs [1] to [36]). In addition, other internationally
accepted project management or construction guides or standards (e.g. PMBOK,
4
Construction Industry Institute PDRI, PRINCE2, GAPPS, INPO etc.; see Refs [37] to [102])
may also be considered at the counterpart’s suggestion.
It is important to note that a CORR mission is a flexible service. The review areas, timing,
and review depth, can be tailored according to a counterpart’s request. Counterparts may
request for example reviews at different times during the construction project, or a review
towards the end of the construction project to assess completeness.
The CORR process is divided into three main phases, each with its own purpose and goals:
• Preparatory phase, which includes a formal meeting between IAEA staff members and
counterpart staff, called the preparatory meeting;
• Review phase, which consists of a review mission;
• Follow-up phase, which may include an optional follow-up mission, which focuses on
implementation of recommendations from the review mission.
Figure 1 provides an overview of the various tasks associated with a CORR mission.
2.2. PREPARATORY PHASE AND PREPARATORY MEETING
Preparation is key for CORR mission success. The preparatory phase addresses the following
topics (in approximate sequential order):
• Appointment of construction review team leader, and identification of counterpart
representative;
• Clarification of mission objectives and scope;
• Selection of construction review team;
• Establishment of review mission agenda;
• Provision of advance documents to the construction review team, i.e. terms of reference
and advance information package;
• Establishment of a code of conduct for adherence by the construction review team.
• Resolution of logistics issues (e.g. transportation, lodging, insurance, funding, fees, and
meeting rooms) for the review mission;
• Establishment and signature of non-disclosure agreements;
• Establishment of measures to be taken to address language barriers (i.e. translation of
review materials and/or translation services during the review mission).
Preparation should begin no later than six months prior to the review mission. This enables
each participant (from the construction review team and the counterpart) to plan for specific
activities and to conduct necessary research and study prior to the review mission.

2.2.1. Appointment of construction review team leader
After a mission request for a CORR mission from a Member State has been received by the
IAEA, the IAEA designates a staff member as construction review team leader. The
counterpart nominates a contact person, the counterpart representative, with whom the
construction review team leader interfaces directly. All subsequent activities of the CORR
mission will be under the leadership and responsibility of these two individuals.
The construction review team leader is responsible for preparatory activities, acts as an
official liaison with the counterpart organization, chairs the review mission, prepares and
issues the mission report, and is responsible for follow-up activities. During the review
mission, the construction review team leader may delegate part of these tasks to a deputy, so
that he or she can concentrate on more strategic issues. In such cases, the delegation should
be made clear to all concerned participants.
2.2.2. Objectives and scope of specific construction readiness review mission
Exact objectives and scope of the specific CORR mission need to be stated precisely, based
on the construction readiness review mission request. These should clearly identify:
• Background information on why the CORR mission was requested and expectations;
• Project to be reviewed (designated as the project under review), including its scope of
work, boundaries, and interfaces;
• Project activities, functions, features to be assessed by the review, and those (if any) to
be specifically excluded;
• Review basis and reference documents against which the project under review will be
assessed. These should usually include any relevant IAEA Safety Guides, IAEA
Nuclear Energy Series Reports, and IAEA Technical Reports applicable to construction
and turnover. Other documents describing recognised international good practices, such
internationally accepted project management documents (e.g. PMBOK, Construction
Industry Institute PDRI, PRINCE2, GAPPS etc.) may be considered.
Potential IAEA references related to the review are listed as Refs [1] to [36]. Although
not the focus of this review, other published IAEA documents may also be referred to
if applicable.
Potential internationally recognized project management documents are listed as
Refs [37] to [102]. They may, with counterpart agreement, be utilized by the
construction review team in evaluating readiness of the project under review,
identifying potential best practices, or simply as background material. Identification of
such documents does not represent official IAEA endorsement or a complete list of
publications from the indicated organization. Other documents from other similar
organizations may also be utilized in the review.
The construction review team is composed of the construction review team leader and
typically eight to ten additional team members. A deputy team leader may be appointed if
necessary. Typical team composition includes a majority of external senior experts and one
or two IAEA staff members (the team leader and deputy team leader if applicable).
7
Composition and size of the team will usually depend on many factors, such as:
• Competencies needed for the review. Competencies may be identified based on project
characteristics (size, complexity etc.), on scope of work to be assessed, and on the
review basis and reference;
• Estimated volume of work for the review mission, based on a breakdown of work to be
performed during the review mission into well-defined technical sessions;
• Need to represent a wide scope of international practices. Team members should
represent a variety of national approaches to project management processes. Team
members should have, in addition to their particular area of expertise, knowledge of
some other national approaches and other relevant areas. Coupling this knowledge with
IAEA safety standards and other guidance publications allows good international
practices to be identified;
• Need to overcome possible language and/or cultural barriers. In such cases, a team
member familiar with the language and culture of the counterpart organization may be
of great benefit;
• Need to avoid conflicts of interest with the counterpart. Selection of team members
should consider their impartiality and relationship of team members’ organizations to
those of the counterpart. In particular, reviewers from the counterpart and dependent
organizations (e.g. suppliers) should not be included in the construction review team
without counterpart agreement. Also, reviewers from organizations considered to be
competitors of the counterpart’s organization or of major project suppliers should be
excluded from the review team unless specific counterpart agreement is obtained;
• Possible need of security vetting. Access to certain facilities and information may
require security vetting to be carried out on the construction review team. Responsibility
for identifying vetting requirements that allow such access to be granted lies with the
counterpart. Responsibility for providing information to satisfy these requirements lies
with the construction review team leader and team members. The counterpart is
subsequently responsible for handling the information provided and to ensure that the
vetting process is completed prior to the review mission.
Selection of team members is the responsibility of the construction review team leader;
however the team member list (with brief biographies) will be submitted to the counterpart
representative for acceptance.
Construction review team members are responsible for mission preparation by studying
relevant information provided by the counterpart in the advance information package,
preparing plans of their review, and formulating questions and comments prior to
commencing the mission.
If the construction review team leader and counterpart agree, observers can join the review
team. Normally an observer is either an IAEA staff member who needs to be trained for
subsequent construction readiness review missions, or a person from an organization that has
an upcoming construction readiness review mission. Observers may assist the construction
review team during the review mission. They are subject to the same rules and constraints
(e.g. code of conduct, non-disclosure agreement) as construction review team members.
Construction review team members should provide feedback on IAEA publications utilized
during the mission (e.g. which parts need to be updated, what issues could not be referenced
to standards), plus suggestions to help improve future missions.
8
2.2.3. Review mission agenda
The review mission should be conducted following a review mission agenda. The agenda
would typically make provision for and plan different types of work sessions:
• Briefing meeting for the construction review team, to make sure that all team members
have the required background information.
• A plenary opening session, where the construction review team and the counterpart
introduce each other and present the objectives and scope of the construction review
mission.
• Several technical sessions, where the construction review team and the counterpart
discuss technical aspects of the project under review. Different sub-types of technical
sessions may be identified, such as:
o Technical presentations, where the counterpart presents aspects of the project to
the construction review team;
o Technical visits that allow the construction review team to collect facts that may
be otherwise difficult to determine from documentation and/or presentations.
This activity includes one on one or group interviews with applicable project
personnel;
o Targeted reviews that allow the construction review team to study selected topics
in more detail.
• Construction review team meetings (involving only construction review team
members) allow team members to share information and understanding, to compare
points of view, and to reach a team consensus on questions and findings.
• A plenary closeout session, where the construction review team presents findings, the
counterpart expresses their point of view, and the construction review team adjusts its
findings as appropriate.
• Debriefing meeting (involving only construction review team members), where the
team develops a quasi-final state for the mission report, and members provide feedback
and lessons learned to the team leader to help improve future missions.
Section 2.3 provides specific guidelines for each of these work session types. The following
are suggestions pertaining to the review mission agenda:
• Development and modification of the review mission agenda needs close cooperation
between, and the agreement of, the construction review team leader and the
counterpart representative, as both sides will need to do extensive preparation prior to
the mission;
• Technical sessions may be a plenary session (i.e. involving the complete construction
review team) or a breakout session (i.e. involving only a part of the construction review
team). Plenary sessions facilitate sharing of information within the team. Breakout
sessions optimise the use of team resources when many subjects need to be covered, or
when team members have very different and exclusive competencies. It is usually the
responsibility of the construction review team leader to decide which subjects will
need to be covered by plenary sessions, and which by breakout sessions;
• Enough time needs to be devoted to construction review team meetings, so that
findings and conclusions are those of the team, and not only of individual team
members. Such meetings should be held at the end of each day. They may be short on
the first days, but as the review mission gets closer to the closeout session, more time is
necessary to harmonise viewpoints and finalise the findings list;
9
• Enough time should be given to the counterpart to provide adequate answers, however
the counterpart should anticipate that issues will arise and should have adequate
resources and competencies available to respond rapidly.
2.2.4. Terms of reference
During the preparatory phase, the construction review team leader should prepare draft terms
of reference for the CORR mission. This should be discussed with the counterpart during the
preparatory meeting. The terms of reference should contain the following items:
• Background information;
• Objectives and scope of the review;
• Date and place for the review;
• Names and resumes of construction review team leader and counterpart
representative;
• Names and resumes of construction review team members;
• Review basis and reference. This includes selection of specific codes, guides and
standards to be applied during the review mission (defined by counterpart);
• Review subjects (i.e. project under review and targeted areas);
• Work scope of each construction review team member (if applicable);
• Provisional review mission agenda;
• Reporting structure;
• Contents of advance information package (AIP).
2.2.5. Advance information package
The advance information package is the set of documents that the counterpart makes
available to construction review team members during the preparatory phase. It should, as a
minimum, contain programmatic type information for each reviewed area and should be
written in English. Suggested contents of an AIP are given in Appendix I.
The counterpart should start preparing the AIP early enough to be submitted at least two
months prior to the review mission in electronic format. Hard copies should be available at
the mission location for construction review team member reference.
The construction review team leader should supplement the AIP with additional resources
and administrative information, such as electronic templates for the mission report, issue
sheet template, and a code of conduct for the review mission.
2.2.6. Code of conduct
The counterpart should have a set of procedures covering expectations for code of conduct
appropriate to the facilities being visited by the construction review team. Compliance with
these procedures must be adhered to in order to ensure that the review is carried out
appropriately. The counterpart is responsible to provide these procedures as part of the AIP
to ensure construction review team member understanding and agreement prior to the initial
review visit.
10
Types of procedures likely to apply are as follows:
• Handling of sensitive information;
• Facility health and safety rules, including those for radiation protection and emergency
response;
• Policies, procedures, and training requirements for working at the facility.
In addition, there may be circumstances where IAEA expectations for code of conduct are
applicable. In this case these must be discussed and agreed with construction review team
members before starting the review mission.
The code of conduct may also include rules or suggestions pertaining to cultural codes of the
counterpart, and to cooperation within the construction review team.
2.2.7. Logistics
Finalization of logistical support for the review mission should be completed well in advance
and documented by the counterpart representative. This includes, but may be not limited to:
• Accommodation for the construction review team during the review mission;
• Transportation of construction review team members to and from this location and
counterpart facilities;
• Meeting facilities during the review mission, including for internal construction review
team meetings (at site and potentially at accommodation location);
• Availability of necessary counterpart staff and documentation during technical
sessions;
• Contact information so that colleagues and family of construction review team
members can contact them during the mission;
• Contingency plans and mobile phone contact numbers to be used in the event that any
team member encounters delays or other problems during travel;
• Arrangements for reimbursement of construction review team members and/or any
review mission fee.
2.2.8. Non-disclosure agreements
Portions of review material may be deemed as proprietary information, and contents of the
mission report itself will be proprietary information. Members of the construction review
team are expected to sign non-disclosure agreements prior to mission start and to manage
proprietary information in an appropriate manner.
The counterpart needs to provide reasonable access to proprietary material prior to and
during the review process. It is expected that after the closeout session, any printed
proprietary information provided to the construction review team is returned to the
counterpart (or appropriately disposed of), and any electronic files associated with the
review on team members’ electronic media are deleted after the draft copy of the mission
report has been submitted to the counterpart. Only the construction review team leader
retains a master copy for future reference.
11
2.2.9. Language barriers
The working language of a construction readiness review mission is English. Where
required, the counterpart is expected to provide translation services during the mission. In
cases where original project documentation is in a language other than English, a summary
of its contents can be provided to the construction review team as part of presentations or
discussions. For key documents, the construction review team may need a translation of the
full table of contents, and even a translation of selected (significant) portions of the
document. It is preferred that at least one construction review team member be a native
speaker of the working language of the project under review.
2.2.10. Contact with construction review team during preparation
To ensure good communications between construction review team members, regular contact
should be maintained with the construction review team leader. This will help to minimise
the risk that the team is not fully mobilised at the start of the review, and avoid the need to
initiate contingency plans.
2.2.11. Preparatory meeting
The preparatory meeting’s purpose is to facilitate preparation of the review mission, and to
minimise risks of misunderstanding between the construction review team leader and
counterpart representative. This may be a two or three day meeting at the location of the
CORR mission where the construction review team leader and possibly some team members
meet face to face the counterpart representative and management in order to:
• Finalise objectives and scope of the CORR mission;
• Resolve any difficulties related to the mission;
• Agree on a provisional review mission agenda;
• Resolve issues related to logistics, security, need for translation, code of conduct, end
of meeting reports, press releases, political meetings, etc.
2.2.12. Counterpart preparation
The counterpart should ensure that key project personnel are briefed on the scope and
purpose of the review mission, the need for cooperation with construction review team
members, and are familiar with applicable reference material pertinent to the areas under
evaluation.
2.3. REVIEW MISSION
2.3.1. General guidelines for review mission
The following guidelines pertain to the review mission:
• It is essential for review success to set and maintain a cooperative, professional, and
courteous atmosphere, both within the construction review team and between the
construction review team and counterpart;
• The review mission should be conducted following the review mission agenda.
However, flexibility is necessary to take into account observed findings (which could
12
require specific investigation) and contingencies inherent in any activity involving a
large number of contributors;
• Throughout the mission, damaging misunderstandings could arise from different
interpretations of technical terms, abbreviations and expressions. It is thus necessary
for both the construction review team and the counterpart to maintain a glossary
explicitly defining terms, abbreviations, and expressions that could be misunderstood;
• Examination of documents provided by the counterpart must be performed under
procedural requirements of the counterpart. Agreement should be obtained from the
counterpart to take documentation away from the facility if required as part of the
review. Documentation taken away from the facility should be handled as required by
the counterpart;
• Frequent communication between the construction review team leader and the
counterpart representative and management is necessary, e.g. to agree on agenda
modifications, to clarify misunderstandings etc. In particular, the counterpart
representative should have daily meetings with the construction review team and
should be invited to advise the construction review team when information may not be
complete or correct. In cases of misunderstanding or where issues need further
clarification, the counterpart representative should direct the construction review team
to the responsible or knowledgeable counterpart staff, vendor, or contractor who can
provide clarification.
2.3.2. Briefing meeting/conference call
The objective of the briefing meeting or conference call is to ensure the construction review
team has all necessary information regarding:
• Objectives, scope and background of the review and the review mission from the IAEA
standpoint; this includes a clear identification of the project under review and of the
review basis and reference documents;
• Code of conduct to be applied by the construction review team members during the
review mission;
• Name, background, domains of competence and role of each construction review team
member. In particular, the construction review team leader may choose to delegate
specific parts of their role to designated team members;
• Review mission agenda;
• Review and discussion of issues or questions rose from review of the AIP, and
potential areas for further investigation during the mission. An initial construction
review questions list resulting from this discussion should be prepared and submitted to
the counterpart;
• Logistics for review mission.
The briefing meeting/conference call is an opportunity to finalise any pending formalities,
such as signing of the non-disclosure agreement forms, or addressing last minute changes.
Suggestions:
• Meeting/conference call may be one week preceding the review mission or earlier, and
typically lasts one to two hours. Additional meetings/conference calls may be
necessary;
• Meeting is normally chaired by the construction review team leader;
13
• Meeting should involve all construction review team members as far as practical;
• Construction review team leader should ensure each construction review team member
has a copy of terms of reference and is fully aware of its contents;
• In order to ensure that a quasi-final state of the mission report can be reached at the
debriefing meeting, responsibilities within the team for different sections of the mission
report should be allocated and agreed upon during the briefing;
• Counterpart representative may participate in the meeting/conference call as an
observer, or to convey information that would be difficult or awkward to address in the
plenary opening session.
2.3.3. Opening session
The opening session’s objective is to ensure all review mission participants (construction
review team and counterpart) have necessary information regarding:
• Objectives, scope and background of the review mission, from both counterpart and
IAEA standpoints;
• Counterpart’s organization and background;
• Precise description of the project under review, including its scope of work and
boundaries;
• Review basis and reference;
• Name, background and role of each participant;
• Review mission agenda;
• Review mission logistics;
• Constraints pertaining to confidentiality of information, security and safety of
participants.
The opening session may also be the opportunity for a:
• Welcome address and opening remarks by the counterpart;
• Presentation of initial questions from the construction review team based on review of
the AIP.
Suggestions:
• Session is typically held at the beginning of the review mission (excluding the briefing
meeting);
• Session is normally chaired by the construction review team leader;
• All participants in the review should be involved as far as practical in the briefing
meeting;
• Construction review team members should describe their area of expertise and
experience;
• Counterpart should introduce their staff in a similar fashion; construction review team
members should note counterpart staff members corresponding to their review area(s);
• Counterpart should provide a project overview, showing overall organization structure,
history, schedule, current status, and major issues being dealt with;
• An AIP, summarising topics that will be presented and discussed during the review,
should have been provided electronically in advance by the counterpart. At this point
each construction review team member should be given access to a hard copy of the
package for use during the review unless otherwise agreed to;
14
• Construction review team members should make notes during the overview, but leave
detailed questioning for the technical sessions.
2.3.4. Technical sessions
The technical sessions’ objective is to allow for more in depth study of an issue with the
counterpart. They may include simple one-on-one or small group discussions (breakout
sessions), technical presentations, technical visits, or may be part of a specific targeted
review.
Suggestions:
• Construction review team and counterpart should each designate a co-chair for a
session; the role of the co-chairs is to keep the session focused, maintain session
schedule, and ensure discussions remain courteous and cooperative;
• Focus should remain on session objectives, i.e. compliance to elements of the review
basis and reference;
• At end of the session, a discussion with the counterpart should take place to clarify any
remaining questions from the construction review team. A list of pending questions
that need more time to be answered (i.e. requests for clarification or more information)
should be established and agreed by the co-chairs, and a tentative time for resolution
should be set;
• During the session, participating construction review team members should note
possible issues and good practices;
• In case of a breakout session, participating construction review team members should
prepare a brief report to inform other team members.
2.3.5. Technical presentations
In a technical presentation, the counterpart has the lead role and presents a specific aspect of
the project under review, at a level of detail that allows the construction review team to
assess project compliance with the review basis and reference. A typical technical
presentation has three main phases:
• Introductory phase: aspect(s) of the project to be discussed, and pertinent elements of
the review basis and reference, are clearly identified;
• Presentation phase: counterpart presents necessary information, either via presentation
slides or in written documentation;
• Discussion phase: construction review team asks for clarification or additional details,
and counterpart provides prompt answers where possible.
Suggestions:
• Whether interruptions can be made during the presentations should be agreed upon at
the beginning of the session by the co-chairs, but interruptions should not prevent
presenters from completing their presentation;
• Presentation slides, if any, should be included in the AIP or otherwise provided to
construction review team members.
15
2.3.6. Technical visits
Technical visits are usually optional but are very desirable. They may help the construction
review team to obtain information that would be difficult to gather from documentation or
technical presentations. Visits may be performed at various locations, such as construction
sites, prefabrication facilities, warehouses, staging areas, calibration facilities, planning
areas, engineering buildings, etc.
Technical visits are usually less structured, and their objectives more open, than technical
presentations and targeted reviews, but a few general suggestions apply:
• Technical visits are usually proposed by the counterpart, but the construction review
team leader may make suggestions, based on review objectives and scope;
• Technical visits usually begin with a short counterpart presentation of what is to be
seen, what specific rules and constraints may apply, who accompanying counterpart
staff are, and their areas of responsibility;
• Participating construction review team members may decide prior to the visit or at the
end of the counterpart’s presentation to allocate different aspects to be examined
during the visit to specific team members;
• “Surprising” observations during the visit should be shared with participating
construction review team members, so that possible implications may be assessed more
thoroughly.
2.3.7. Targeted reviews
A targeted review follows a specific subject through the counterpart’s documentation at a
deep level of detail. Topics that are the object of a targeted review are usually selected
because of their importance with respect to review objectives, or because they are
representative of large parts of the project.
A targeted review is usually under the leadership of the construction review team. It is
typically composed of three phases:
• Definition phase: construction review team explains review session subject and
objectives;
• Presentation phase: counterpart explains how the subject is handled in the project
under review, in related work processes, or in documentation;
• “Thread analysis” phase: construction review team interviews and examines specific
documents or parts of documents and further questions the counterpart. Where a
complete analysis cannot be completed during the mission then findings and follow-up
recommendations should be provided in the mission report.
Examples of such reviews might include:
• Project front end planning processes and adequacy;
• Review of measures in place to control material and related non-conformances;
• Engineering completeness/readiness prior to construction;
• Review of processes in place to plan, manage, and report on project activities;
• Construction progress reporting methodology;
• Construction turnover/handover processes;
16
• Quality surveillance processes and adequacy;
• Review of training, experience and qualification of project staff;
• Safety and human performance programmes and/or practices;
• Material receipt, storage, control and logistics;
• Status of issues or recommendations from previous IAEA missions or project stages.
Suggestions:
• List of targeted reviews and their scopes are usually determined by the construction
review team leader, and agreed upon by the counterpart representative. Though it is
preferable to plan them ahead of the review mission, some may be decided during the
mission based on questions raised. Enough preparation time should be given to the
counterpart so that they can make staff and documentation available;
• Construction review team members should dig deep enough to get a clear
understanding of the subject, but should also guard against wasting time on less
important technical details.
2.3.8. Construction review team meeting
These meetings involve only construction review team members. The objective is for team
members to share information and understanding, compare points of view, maintain a list of
questions and clarification items, and reach a consensus on findings. Another essential
objective is to develop the mission report.
Suggestions:
• One session should be held at the end of each day, while impressions and information
are still fresh;
• Meetings are particularly necessary in the case of breakout sessions, so that the whole
team shares information;
• During the first few days, meetings will usually tend to be short (typically one hour or
less), but as the review mission nears closeout, more time will be necessary to merge
individual findings into a consistent, well-organised list;
• Progress regarding the mission report should be checked at each meeting. In order to
ensure that a quasi-final state of the report can be reached at the debriefing meeting,
relevant information should be inserted in the draft report as soon as it is available.
2.3.9. Closeout session
During the closeout session the construction review team presents their findings (issues,
recommendations, suggestions and good practices) to the counterpart, and the counterpart
provides feedback on the findings.
The meeting is an opportunity for the construction review team to take leave of counterpart
staff and consider follow-up actions.
Suggestions:
• Session is typically held at the end of the review mission (excluding the debriefing
meeting);
17
• Session is normally chaired by the construction review team leader;
• Session should involve all participants in the review, as far as practical;
• A written list of findings should be provided to the counterpart prior to the session
(typically, the day before), so that the counterpart has time to prepare a provisional
response or feedback;
• Any adjustment from written findings should be made clear during the session, in such
a way that the counterpart is not “surprised” by final findings.
2.3.10. Debriefing meeting/conference call
The debriefing meeting or conference call is for the construction review team to develop a
quasi-final mission report, and to allocate any remaining work.
Suggestions:
• Meeting is typically held the day following the review mission, and typically lasts a
few hours;
• Meeting is chaired by the construction review team leader;
• Meeting should involve all construction review team members, as far as practical;
• The IAEA line manager of the construction review team leader should be invited to
participate;
• Responsibilities within the team for finalization of the mission report should be
allocated and agreed upon;
• Lessons learned and suggestions from construction review team members for future
missions should be documented.
2.4. FOLLOW-UP MISSION
The objective of a follow-up mission is to assess progress made in resolution of issues
identified, and in particular in the implementation of recommendations and possibly of
suggestions. This follow–up mission is at the discretion of the counterpart, and may be
combined with a Phase 2 CORR mission if desired (where the follow-up is to a Phase 1
mission).
General guidelines:
• Decision, scope and timing are based on a mutual agreement between the construction
review team leader and counterpart;
• Follow-up mission team should be composed of the team leader and preferably one or
more members of the original review team;
• Should be performed typically 12 to 18 months after the main mission;
• Should last typically three days, depending on volume and complexity of issues;
• Should have a preparation phase similar to the main review mission. Counterpart sends
in advance to IAEA all issue sheets from the main mission, having updated the recent
status of issues, indicating also whether or not they believe the issue closed;
• Guidelines for the main review mission also apply.
18
2.5. REPORTING AND DOCUMENTING
2.5.1. Mission report
The mission report is the main deliverable of the construction review team. It presents the
background, objective and scope of the mission, the project under review, the review basis
and reference, and findings made by the team during the review. A suggested report format
is provided in Appendix III of this document.
Findings may be classified into two categories: issues and good practices, and are discussed
in more details in the following sections. Figure 2 provides an overview of how mission
findings will be resolved and documented in the mission report.
FIG. 2. Resolution of Mission Findings.
The counterpart will have an opportunity to comment on the draft report and will
acknowledge receipt of the final report (Figure 1).
2.5.2. Issues and issue sheets
An issue is an identified concern or an area of improvement, which has been identified on the
basis of documents listed in the review basis and reference and/or internationally recognized
good practices in the subject area. Each issue is presented in an issue sheet which provides
the following:
1. Issue identification, with issue number and title, mission name, reviewed area;
2. Issue clarification, with description of the fundamental overall problem, and the
basis for the issue (observations and relevant documents);
3. Assessment by construction review team, with facts, consequences,
recommendations/suggestions, and documents reviewed;
4. Counterpart’s actions taken after mission and prior to follow-up assessment;
5. Follow-up assessment by construction review team, with possibly new facts, and
documents reviewed, and an assessment of the resolution degree.
19
An issue sheet template is given in Annex III of the mission report template (Appendix III of
this document).
2.5.2.1. Sub-Section 3.3 of Issue Sheet: Recommendations and suggestions
Recommendations and suggestions are numbered in sequential order for further reference.
Reviewed documents (corresponding specifically to the issue under consideration) are also
listed.
As much as possible, each recommendation and suggestion should be referenced to the
relevant requirement/recommendation of respective review basis and reference documents.
Recommendations and suggestions may also be based on good practices or lessons learned
from other international NPP projects.
2.5.2.2. Sub-Section 5 of Issue Sheet: Resolution degree and status of issue
The status of an issue is assessed and a respective resolution degree is assigned to reflect the
judgment of the IAEA review team. The degree is either “withdrawn”, “insufficient progress
to date”, “satisfactory progress to date”, or “issue resolved” as indicated in the issue sheet
template.
2.5.3. Good practices and good performances
Good practices and good performances observed should be documented in the text of the
report. It should be confirmed that good practices are:
• Novel;
• Have proven benefits;
• Can be used on other projects; and
• Do not contradict an issue.
20
3. REVIEW PRINCIPLES
The CORR mission is intended to conduct a review of a major NPP construction project,
such as a new build or refurbishment, to improve project performance. The mission is based
on appropriate IAEA documents, such as the Safety Guides and the Nuclear Energy Series
Reports(Refs [1] to [36]). In addition, other internationally accepted project management
documents (e.g. PMBOK, Construction Industry Institute PDRI, PRINCE2, GAPPS etc.; see
Refs [37] to [102]) will also be considered with counterpart concurrence.
The main documents from an IAEA perspective related to construction project management
are IAEA Nuclear Energy Series documents Project Management in Nuclear Power Plant
Construction: Guidelines and Experience NP-T-2.7 [16], and Construction Technologies for
Nuclear Power Plants NP-T-2.5 [17].
3.1. REVIEW TECHNIQUES
Information utilized for the review should be based on observations, interviews, document
reviews, and site walk downs.
The construction review team uses five steps to acquire the information needed to develop
their recommendations/suggestions. The five steps are:
1. Review of written material and/or presentations;
2. Discussion and interviews;
3. Direct observation of programme implementation and project status;
4. Discussions among the review team;
5. Discussion of evaluations/tentative conclusions with counterpart.
3.1.1. Use of review techniques
The use of review techniques mentioned above should be planned in advance. Arrangements
should be made with the counterpart as to how to perform discussions, interviews, and
observations.
The IAEA review team has meetings in which experts present their findings, summarize
concerns, and discuss actual issues. This allows other team members to contribute their
views, further strengthening the experience base of the evaluation. It is important that each
expert comes prepared to make a concise statement of findings, in order to allow all review
areas to be discussed at the same meeting. These meetings will determine those issues to be
presented to the counterpart for consideration by the counterpart’s organization. A template
for the issue sheets is shown in Annex III of the mission report template (Appendix III of this
document).
Formulation of recommendations and suggestions should be based on identified issues.
Good practices and good performances discovered during the review process that should be
documented for the benefit of other Member States are described in the text of the mission
report.
21
Based upon discussions and observations, reviewers can, if necessary, modify their
preliminary view. Multiple cycles of document review, discussions, interviews, and
observations may be required to clarify and resolve complex issues and/or findings.
3.1.2. Review of written material
Reviewers should use the AIP in both the preparatory and implementation phases of the
CORR mission.
Other than the AIP, the construction review team may gain access or request more detailed
documentation during the mission. This is in support of a deeper investigation of more
complex topics. Such documentation may include:
• Project metrics/reporting packages;
• Engineering metrics/reporting packages;
• Construction metrics/reporting packages (including safety metrics);
• Detailed procedures and other project governance;
• Contracts, legal documents;
• Regulatory submissions;
• Preliminary or final safety analysis report ;
• Equipment/material history dockets;
• Engineering modification information (modification packages, modification processes
etc.);
• Work execution packages (released to trades for installation);
• Quality surveillance packages;
• Project charters, scope documents, work breakdown structures, explanation of how
work is planned to be divided between organizations etc.;
• Risk management plans;
• Training and qualification records;
• Description of pertinent events relating to the construction project and corrective
actions ;
• Databases and information repositories associated with the project:
o Engineering/plant configuration databases ;
o Calibration databases;
o Work management databases;
o Project schedules.
Appendix II of this document provides a broad range of topics that the construction review
team should consider during the CORR mission. It should be noted however that the review
mission scope will dictate which portions of the Appendix are relevant (and within the scope
of the review mission).
3.1.3. Presentations, discussion and interviews
The construction review team will conduct discussions/interviews with the counterpart with
the aim to:
• Provide additional information not covered by the AIP;
• Answer questions, and satisfy concerns arising out of the documentation review;
22
• Obtain an in-depth understanding of :
o Important project characteristics;
o Associated work procedures and activities;
o Form a joint judgment on findings.
These discussions/interviews are also used to provide an opportunity for exchanging
important information between construction review team members and their counterparts.
These interviews provide opportunities for individuals to listen and share experiences, and
not be an interrogation by team members. Properly conducted, these discussions/interviews
are possibly the most important part of the CORR mission. Use precise questions that call for
specific or exact answers where possible, and attempt to obtain corroboration from multiple
sources of key facts or details.
Presentations by counterparts (both formal and informal) can be used as a means of
obtaining further information and to fill in information gaps identified as a result of the
review of the AIP.
Technical visits may be held where possible to provide the review team with a deeper
understanding of the project. This may include demonstrations with mock-up or prototype
hardware/systems or simulators.
3.1.4. Direct observation of performance, status and activities
Direct observation of activities related to the project under review means on-site observation
of:
• Implementation of procedures and programmes related to the project, such as:
o Project approval and oversight meetings;
o Field construction and/or check/test/calibration activities;
o Warehouse incoming material inspections ;
o Project status/planning meetings;
o Pre-job and post job briefings;
o Constructability reviews;
o Engineering review meetings;
o Safety inspections;
o Management meetings;
• Where appropriate, physical conditions related to the selected project within the scope
of the review, such as:
o General site walk-downs;
o Specific sub-project field inspection(s).
From these observations, reviewers will form a position on:
• Quality of processes supporting the project;
• Staff level of commitment;
• Overall safety culture;
• Staff capability in terms of resources, technical knowledge and skills;
• Overall condition of facilities and project.
23
3.2. SOURCES OF INFORMATION
3.2.1. Background information
Background information will be required to achieve a common understanding. In particular,
the following should form the basis of this common understanding:
• Position and role of the counterpart within the project;
• History of development and changes in the project under review;
• Previous assessments by other organizations (e.g. regulatory assessments, third party
qualification, audits, etc.);
• Boundaries and constraints impacting the project.
3.2.2. Information provided by counterpart
Examples of information sources to be provided by the counterpart are:
• AIP;
• Written documentation as described in Section 3.1.2 above;
• Description of already identified problems areas based on a self-assessment by the
counterpart; A pre-mission self-assessment could specifically be based on the subjects
to be reviewed under this CORR mission (i.e. Appendix II Tables);
The scope of information sources should be defined and agreed in the terms of reference.
3.3. DEVELOPMENT OF FINDINGS
During the course of the review, the construction review team will hold internal consultation
sessions (construction review team meetings) to develop a common set of findings. The team
will complete issue sheets and record good practices, update them as necessary after
discussion with the counterpart, and modify them as required as the review progresses. The
following should be noted for issue sheets:
• Emphasis should be given to reviewers’ observations, with minimal description. Clear
conclusions should be documented;
• Wherever possible, reference to IAEA or other reference documents should be
provided;
• Language should be clear, concise, objective and impersonal;
• Short, direct sentences are preferred;
• Issues should be defined in terms of a fundamental overall problem that leads to or can
have a significant consequence for the project under review;
• Official names should be used to designate organizational units, positions and systems;
• Abbreviations or acronyms shall be introduced upon their first use and compiled in a
list;
• Sheets should be written in English.
Templates for issue sheets are provided in Annex III of the mission report template (in
Appendix III of this document).
24
3.4. WORKING WITH COUNTERPART
Besides interviews and meetings with the counterpart as described in section 3.1, work with
the counterpart on site involves the following activities:
• Opening session;
• Regular meetings (meeting with the counterpart, summary team meetings, etc.); and
• Closeout session.
During the opening session, the organization and schedule of the mission should be
presented. Focused working teams for specific areas may be established at that time.
Working teams in each area consist of designated construction review team members,
counterpart experts, and site technical support as required. It is advisable to have a short
meeting each day of all participants to discuss organizational issues related to that day’s
activities.
Construction review team members will plan their schedules such that a primary and an
alternate objective are always scheduled. A schedule of activities should be updated daily
and discussed with the counterpart.
The counterpart should be informed on a regular basis of preliminary findings and
recommendations being made by the review team. Whenever possible, agreement should be
reached between the construction review team and the counterpart on the facts supporting
each findings and recommendation, and on the recommendation itself. Representatives of the
counterpart may attend the daily team meeting, as necessary.
The day before the closeout session, construction review team experts should deliver their
section of the mission report. The facts as documented in these sections should have been
reviewed and agreed with by the counterpart.
A formal closeout session is held the last day of the review mission. At this session, all
construction review team members will provide short statements summarizing findings,
recommendations and suggestions related their reviewed area(s).

APPENDIX II: SUBJECTS FOR CONSTRUCTION READINESS REVIEW
MISSION, AND ASSOCIATED REFERENCES
The objective of this appendix is to help the construction review team leader and the
counterpart clarify the scope and the basis and reference of the construction readiness
review mission. It suggests a list of subjects that could be considered and discussed. Where
applicable, it identifies related IAEA documents, and possibly other documents, that could be
used as reference for the mission. The list of subjects may also be used by the construction
review team leader and the counterpart to determine which technical sessions should be
included in the construction readiness review mission agenda.
Note the construction review team leader and counterpart are free to discuss any other
subject that might be relevant to the mission.
The proposed subjects are organised into 9 main themes:
1. Project management;
2. Engineering readiness (engineering deliverables required to support construction);
3. Procurement/material/supply chain readiness (material available to support
construction activities);
4. Quality management and records;
5. Human resources and training;
6. Construction readiness;
7. Construction installation completion assurance/system turnover process;
8. Targeted area reviews (including project delays and corrective actions);
9. Technical visits.
For each theme, a table (Tables II.1 to II.9) lists associated subjects. Each table has four
columns:
• “ID” column associating a short identification for further reference;
• “Subject and description” column explaining what the subject is about;
• “Specific references” column suggesting some possible reference documents;
• “Conclusion” column for construction review team leader and counterpart to note
decisions regarding the subject.
This appendix is available in editable electronic form. The construction review team leader
and counterpart would typically:
• Adjust the “Specific references” column as applicable and necessary. Agreement
should be made as to what if any international project management references would
be formally included in the review;
• Note in the conclusion column whether the subject is to be addressed by the mission,
and if so, add any necessary precision or alteration to the “Subject and description”
column;
• Add new lines for any subject that needs addressing and is not in the tables.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2013 the IAEA Nuclear Power Engineering Section established the “Construction
Readiness Review" (CORR) mission to conduct peer reviews of construction projects related
to nuclear power plants.
This report documents the Construction Review performed during the week of Review
Period and Review Location, on the project being reviewed.
Background of the system(s) being reviewed.
History of review request, discussion of preparatory meeting, and basis for review such as
….These guidelines were based on IAEA Nuclear Energy Series documents Project
Management in Nuclear Power Plant Construction: Guidelines and Experience NP-T-2.7,
Construction Technologies for Nuclear Power Plants NP-T-2.5, and well as other internally
recognized project or construction management documents (list specific documents utilized
during the mission).
The Construction Review was performed by a group of invited subject matter experts. Results
of their review were published in a mission report at the end of the review, which provided
recommendations, suggestions and noted good practices in the construction process.
Goals of counterpart organization….such as their goals were that the mission would provide
them with a basis for proceeding with the next stage of the NPP construction project, and by
implementing mission recommendations and findings future project risk would be minimized.
Description of general manner as to how the review was conducted…such as
Construction Review activities consisted of a series of formal presentations by counterpart
organization staff (supported by associated organizations) clarification discussions between
the IAEA review team and the counterpart organization staff after these presentations, as
well as a tour of the construction site and related facilities. The IAEA mission review team
then submitted a series of written questions to project staff, which were followed up by
written responses and subsequent discussions between the two parties.
Conclusions of this report summarize the findings of the review mission and provide number
(99) recommendations and number (99) suggestions for the project to consider, along with
acknowledging number (99) good practices from which other project organizations may
benefit. Through the review of presented documents and counterpart discussion, the IAEA
review team confirmed that extensive work of high quality has been performed to develop
the project under review to its current state. In general, the reviewed project contains the
elements generally recommended IAEA Nuclear Energy Series documents related to project
management of NPP projects, and construction technology for NPP projects. Specific issues,
identified as areas for further improvement, are listed in the issues sheets, as suggestions and
recommendations.
If deemed appropriate by review team, text similar to the following may be used….
It should be noted that nuclear power plant projects, such as those of the project under
review, are extremely complex and the review mission was conducted for only a relatively

short time period. It is the opinion of the review team that some comments in the report
should not be seen as deficiencies in the overall project, but may be a result of the difficulty
in resolving all of their concerns in such a limited time period.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. MISSION BACKGROUND
A review mission entitled the “Review of Construction Readiness for a Nuclear Power Plant
Project" (CORR review) was established in 2013 at the Nuclear Power Engineering Section of
the IAEA. The mission is intended to conduct peer reviews of construction projects related to
nuclear power plants.
Construction Readiness review missions are performed by a group of invited subject matter
experts from various IAEA member states. The construction readiness review mission is
based on appropriate IAEA documents, such as Safety Guides and Nuclear Energy Series
reports.
This portion may be tailored based on the results of the preparatory meeting….
Guidelines for this construction readiness review mission were established at a consultancy
meeting in location and date of the preparatory meeting. Review methodology follows the
structure of IAEA CORR guidelines – Guidelines for preparing and conducting review
missions of construction project readiness for nuclear power plants [37].
More specifically, nine (9) specific requirement areas were selected for review:
[Adjust list below as necessary]
1. Project management;
2. Engineering readiness (engineering deliverables required to support construction);
3. Procurement/material/supply chain readiness (material available to support
construction activities);
4. Quality management and records;
5. Human resources and training;
6. Construction readiness;
7. Construction installation completion assurance/system turnover process;
8. Targeted reviews (including project delays and corrective actions);
9. Technical visits.
The subject of the current construction review was the project under review and a brief
discussion of its background including a discussion of any previous third party and/or
regulatory reviews.

1.2. MISSION OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE
Objectives of the construction review mission were to:
• Conduct an independent and comprehensive review of the project under review using
information provided by the counterpart and obtained by the construction review team
during the mission period. The review focussed on project readiness to proceed to its
next stage, and covered the nine (9) areas identified in Section 1.1;
• Produce a mission report, including issue sheets.
It is the counterpart organization’s expectation that the IAEA’s construction review findings,
as an independent international technical review, will provide the following benefits to their
project:
• Improvement performance of the project under review by implementing mission
recommendations and findings;
• Other expectations of the counterpart.
1.3. REVIEW BASIS AND REFERENCES
1.3.1. Guideline references for review conduct
The review basis was IAEA Nuclear Energy Series documents Project Management in
Nuclear Power Plant Construction: Guidelines and Experience NP-T-2.7 [16], Construction
Technologies for Nuclear Power Plants NP-T-2.5 [17], and well as other internally recognized
project or construction management documents (list specific documents utilized during the
mission).
Review team members also used expert judgment to compare review subjects against or
existing international good practices.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Advance information package: A set of documents provided to construction review team
members by the counterpart organization during the preparatory phase prior to the review
mission.
Breakout session: A technical session during the review mission where only part of the
construction review team is involved.
Briefing meeting: A meeting or conference call of the construction review team held prior to
the review mission, to ensure all members of the construction review team have all necessary
information, and to gather a list of initial questions for the counterpart.
Code of conduct: A set of policies and practices that construction review team members
must observe during the review mission.
Closeout session: Final plenary session during the review mission, where the construction
review team presents Findings, the counterpart expresses their point of view, and mutual
agreement is attained on any remaining outstanding issues.
Construction readiness review mission (CORR mission): Review service directly
addressing strategy and key elements for implementation of construction projects for NPPs
noting, in applicable cases, specific concerns related to quality assurance requirements, and
readiness related to project under review.
Construction review team: Group of industry experts and/or IAEA staff members
assembled to perform the construction readiness review mission.
Construction review team meeting: Meeting during the construction readiness review
mission involving the construction review team only. It allows team members to share
information and understanding, compare points of view, and to reach a team consensus on
questions and Findings.
Construction review team leader: An IAEA staff member designated as responsible for all
preparatory activities, to act as an official liaison with the counterpart, to co-chair the review
mission with the counterpart representative, to prepare and issue the mission report, and to
be responsible for follow-up activities.
Counterpart: Organization that requested the construction readiness review mission, that is
responsible for providing information and answers necessary to the review, and that hosts the
review mission.
Counterpart representative: Person designated by the counterpart to be their representative
and point of contact with the construction review team leader.
Debriefing meeting: Meeting of construction review team held after the review mission to
develop the quasi-final state of the mission report.
Fact: An evidence of deficiency in programmes or performance. Based on grouping facts of
similar nature, each reviewer develops an issue stated as a fundamental overall problem
which can have a significant consequence for the project under review.
Finding: An issue, recommendation, suggestion or good practice that the construction
review team mentions, or intends to mention, in the mission report.
Fundamental overall problem: A generic deficiency in programmes or performance which
can lead to significant consequences for the project under review.
Good practice: An outstanding, markedly superior, and proven performance, programme,
activity or design element that contributes directly or indirectly to project or nuclear power
plant good performance. They should be sufficiently superior and have broad enough
application to be brought to the attention of other NPPs, construction companies, suppliers,
assessors, integrators, etc. and be worthy of their consideration in a general drive for
excellence. Just fulfilling normal requirements or expectations would not merit a good
practice.
92
Good performance: A superior objective that has been achieved, or a good technique or
programme that contributes directly or indirectly to sustained project performance that works
well for the project in question. However, it might not be necessary to recommend its
adoption on other NPP projects, because of financial considerations, differences in approach,
technical reasons, or others.
Issue: An identified concern or an area for improvement, which has been identified on the
basis of the review basis and reference, and/or internationally recognized good practices in
the subject area.
Opening session: Initial plenary session during the review mission, to ensure all participants
in the review mission (construction review team and counterpart) have all necessary or
useful information.
Plenary session: Session during the review mission involving the complete construction
review team and counterpart.
Project under review: The NPP project to be reviewed, with its defined scope and
boundaries.
Recommendation: Advice from the construction review team on what improvements should
be made that would contribute to resolve an issue. Follow-up action is required.
Resolution degree: A status related to an issue at a given time. It is one of “issue resolved”,
“satisfactory progress to date”, “insufficient progress to date”, or “withdrawn”.
Review basis and reference: A set of documents against which the project under review
will be assessed.
Review mission agenda: A documented schedule for the conduct of the construction
readiness review mission.
Suggestion: Advice from the construction review team on what improvements may be made
that would contribute to resolve an issue. Follow-up action is not strictly required; it is only
optional in order to get closer to internationally recognized good practices.
Targeted review: Technical session during the review mission that allows the construction
review team to study a selected topic in deep detail.
Technical presentation: Technical session where the counterpart presents a specific aspect
of the project under review, at a level of detail that allow the construction review team to
assess the project’s compliance to the review basis and reference.
Technical session: A session during the review mission involving the construction review
team and counterpart, where the construction review team reviews specific technical
subjects.
Technical visit: Technical session where the construction review team can collect facts first
hand that would otherwise be difficult to gather from documentation or presentations.
