The main purpose of the contract is to foster and evaluate, on the basis of a concrete field test case, the potential of the pilot training, proposed by the tenderer, in establishing a level playing field of skills and competences for safety assessment carried out by safety authorities/regulators and technical support organisations in the EU Member States.

The outcome of this study shall fit in the implementation of the revised Nuclear Safety Directive.

The objective of this contract is to use an existing training programme for safety authorities and TSOs in the field of safety assessment of nuclear installations, to perform the feasibility study to analyse the proposed training programme as implemented in the concrete field test case, identify deficiencies and provide solutions to improve. The feasibility study would then conclude on the real potential to establish an EU-wide level playing field for nuclear safety assessment by regulators and TSOs, and propose ways ahead, via training and/or other means.
