Background• The GNSSN project was initiated as result of

the Conference on Effective Regulatory Systems in 2006, Moscow; strong support from G8 and other Member States was received;

• The project was launched in the IAEA regular budget in 2008;

• Several CS were held to further develop the concept and the programme with the support of Germany (BMU/GRS);

3


Background (Cond’)• 1st Technical Meeting (TM) on the Establishment of the

International Regulatory Network (RegNet) was held from 24 –28 November 2008, Vienna, Austria• Main Summary from this TM:

• Objectives, Rules and Principles;• Guidelines for Design and Operation of RegNet;• Structure and Content of RegNet;• IT Infrastructure and Services;• Work Plan and Milestones.

• Official Announcement was made in the International Conference on Effective Nuclear Regulatory Systems, 14 to 18 December 2009 in Cape Town, South Africa

Background (Cond’)• Activities and Achievements in 2010:

• Successful migration from GRS Server to the GNSSN Production Server at IAEA applying the SharePoint 2007 software;• reviewed the status of the system;• prepared a road map for installation of the necessary components for

the GNSSN portal at the IAEA• decided to establish a formal Joint Cooperation Team between

BMU/GRS and IAEA• Integration of more thematic areas and IAEA review services

into the GNSSN: such as IRRS, EPREV, INES, E&T…• Successful test case for the Regulatory Cooperation Forum

(RCF);• Release of public websites for GNSSN and its sub-sites;

2011 Second half of 2011.• Further development of IT infrastructure, • Establishment of National Nuclear Regulatory Portals (Joint Coordination

Group),• Extension of forums and collaboration spaces under GNSSN.

• Activities in 2011:• Further development of National Nuclear Regulatory

Portals• Inclusion of external thematic networks like FNRBA

(Forum of Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa) and ANNuR (Arab Networks of Nuclear Regulators)

• Establishment of a Technical and Scientific Support Organization (TSO) Forum

The basis of GNSSN - The Global Safety and

Security Framework

8


What is the GNSSN?

The Basic Concept of GNSSN comes from the IAEA document:

INSAG 21: STRENGTHENING THE GLOBAL NUCLEAR SAFETY REGIMEA report by the International Nuclear Safety Group

•Introduction of Global Nuclear Safety Regime;•Promotion of Convention of Nuclear Safety;•Promotion of IAEA safety standards and their applications;•Promotion of information exchange, including the operating experience feedback;•Promotion of international cooperation

9


What is the GNSSN?

• The GNSSN comprises a set of existing networks and information resources (public and restricted).

• GNSSN aims to ensure that critical knowledge, experience, and lessons learned about safety and security are exchanged as broadly as they need to be and to enable and support interaction and collaboration between professionals and organisations.

10


Vision and Mission

11


Structure of the GNSSN (1)

• National Safety and Security Infrastructure

• International Nuclear Industry

• International Organizations and Bodies

• RegNet – multinational networks among regulators

• Multinational Networks Among Operators

• Public, News Media …

12



• International Conventions• Codes of Conduct• International Safety Standards• International Security

Guidance• Review and Appraisal Services• Joint R&D Projects• Operating Experience

Exchange• International Conferences and

Workshops

13



• The GNSSN collects and provides also proprietary information and links to relevant external information sources such as:• Thematic and Regional Networks

• Asian Nuclear Safety Network (ANSN)

• Forum of Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa (FNRBA)

• Global Safety Assessment Network (GSAN)

• Iberoamerican Forum For Nuclear Regulators (FORO)

• Regulatory Country Information

14


Implementation of the network

GNSSN applies the advanced Microsoft product SharePoint.

15



Why SharePoint?

•Microsoft software products are the basis of the IT services at the IAEA, hence SharePoint is by default compatible with the established IT environment in the IAEA.

•SharePoint gives you Better Accessibility and Communication within your business;

•SharePoint gives you Tailored deployment of business processes;

•SharePoint gives you Reliable and Scalable Platform built by Microsoft;

•SharePoint gives you Reduced Complexity and Cost of other document sharing solutions;

•SharePoint gives you Quick and Easy Collaboration for your employees;

•SharePoint gives you Better Team Processes and User Experience;

•SharePoint is Quick and easy to deploy in your business;

•SharePoint gives you Increased Security and Administrative Controls;

•SharePoint improves team productivity through easy-to-use collaborative tools;

•SharePoint enhances sharing of documents and ensures integrity of content;

•SharePoint makes less stress sharing, encrypting, and finding documents you need.

16



• The Production web site of the GNSSN has been divided in two parts – public and restricted.

• The public web site is exposed to the Internet without any restriction and is meant to host information of general nature which should give short presentation of the GNSSN and its components to a public visitor;

• The restricted site collection holds specialized and confidential information which is accessible only for users registered in the system. To every part of the restricted site collection an access control list applies. Access control lists are coordinated with the site owners.

17



•In order to allow controlled access to GNSSN parts a procedure for user registration and assigning access rights has been developed;

•Users access the GNSSN web site and its parts through a Single Sign On (SSO) mechanism which allows access to different sites, including NUCLEUS, with a single user name/password pair.•Three different user roles:

•Site owner or administrator, can change the design, register new users and make any changes•Member can upload and edit documents, announcements, participate in discussions.•Visitor can access site and download documents.

18



•The software product SharePoint of the Microsoft Corporation, which is the fundament of the GNSSN web site, can host not only the GNSSN web site collection but can serve as a platform for active collaboration by all involved stakeholders.

•New parts were introduced in the GNSSN system and started working successfully – Regulatory Cooperation Forum (RCF), Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS), International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES), Education and Training.

•All these new parts and sub-sites have already been introduced by IAEA staff.

22


International Regulatory Network (RegNet)

• RegNet is based on the concept of the global nuclear safety and security framework and makes use of nuclear safety and security information provided in the worldwide web.

• RegNet supports national and international actors in sharing of regulatory knowledge, practices and information and in fostering collaboration on nuclear safety and security matters.

• The objective is to contribute to the effectiveness of Nuclear Regulatory Systems and to continuous enhancements.

• RegNet is an information and collaboration platform and is part of the Global Nuclear Safety and Security Network (GNSSN).

23


Examples of pages in RegNet

RegNet is composed of several sub pages which can be accessed from the left side panel.

24



RCF in RegNet is the Regulatory Cooperation Forum. Here the main page which is public can be seen.
