Management systems are consistent with IAEA recommendations [11]. Clear descripton of how bid will be evaluated. Evidence that criteria include any country specific requirements, safety and security aspects, the complete fuel cycle requirements, as well as financial, legal, technical and commercial aspects.

6. IAEA Main Features Covers milestones 1 and 2 Can be carried out at any point to review progress Addresses each of the 19 infrastructure issues For each condition, identifies the evidence that will show it has been met Seeks to avoid duplication as much as possible Clear descripton of how bid will be evaluated. Evidence that criteria include any country specific requirements, safety and security aspects, the complete fuel cycle requirements, as well as financial, legal, technical and commercial aspects.

7. IAEA Evidence Reports Meeting notes Correspondence Talks and presentations Conferences attended with meeting reports CVs, organization and job descriptions

8. IAEA Work Programmes For each issue, there should be a clear work programme for the next phase showing: the objectives of the work programme the detailed activities who is responsible for each activity, the funding and resources required, how it will be provided the timescales for each activity.

9. IAEA Evaluation Steps Determine the scope and terms of reference. strongly recommended that all 19 issues are covered Identify the organizations to be involved the individuals who will conduct the evaluation; Evaluate the status of the infrastructure against the basis listed Identify areas needing further attention Preparing an action plan to address these areas.

12. IAEA Evaluation report Identification of the ‘team of evaluators’ Identification of the ‘team of respondents’ A description of the process used Lists of the evidence reviewed Further actions required Summary conclusions for each condition References to any relevant material used Confidentiality requirements, if any.

13. IAEA Who is the document for? Decision makers, advisers and senior managers in the governmental organizations, utilities, industries and regulatory bodies of a Member State. Donors, suppliers, nuclear energy agencies and operator organizations.

14. IAEA How is it used? Self-evaluation – “an essential tool for any learning organization.” include staff from the organizations involved augment with experts from own or another country. key requirements are: a good understanding of the infrastructure issues knowledge and experience in conducting evaluation activities a level of “independence”

15. IAEA Independent Review Following such a self-evaluation, Member States are encouraged to arrange an independent review of their evaluation.

16. IAEA International Atomic Energy Agency Are we nearly there yet? Covers milestones 1 and 2 Can be used to review progress at any point Addresses each of the 19 infrastructure issues Lists evidence that conditions have been met Provides a methodology for self assessment and external review
