Challenges as a TSO
■ TSO needs to timely contribute to resolving regulatory
issues with high priority and, at the same time, be vigilant
and proactive to new findings / emerging future needs.
Effective Safety Research plays a key role.
■ Maintaining "technical infrastructure" is a challenge.
■ Continuous recruiting / developing skilled research engineers,
■ Maintaining test facilities, hot laboratories, etc.
■ Glowing needs for natural sciences such as seismology, meteorology,
volcanology, etc. TSO needs to have an "interface function" with
natural scientists in academia, etc.
■ International information exchange and joint research
projects in IAEA, OECD/NEA, ETSON, etc. are playing an
essential role.
■ Communication between regulatory body and industries
on research be promoted while taking into due account of
regulatory independence.
