dc.description.abstractIn presentations at previous IGORR Conferences, I have covered the overall project management of a Periodic Safety Review (PSR) of the OPAL reactor, the use of a fault schedule approach in the review of the deterministic safety assessment as part of the PSR and the safety reassessment of OPAL in light of the Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident. This paper presents some additional lessons learned that may be useful to research reactor operating organisations performing either a PSR or a safety reassessment on their own facilities. It is based not only on experience with the PSR and safety reassessment of OPAL but also on feedback received during the course of various IAEA Expert Missions and Technical Workshops on these subjects. Topics covered include the project management of a PSR, the review of codes and standards, evaluating the status of SSCS, the use of a fault schedule to assess beyond design basis events, the Global Assessment and how to identify common themes and root causes across different safety factors, and what traps to avoid when documenting findings and identifying recommendations or observations.en_AU
