      FOREWORD

      The IAEA’s statutory role is to seek to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity throughout the world. Among other functions, the IAEA is authorized to foster the exchange of scientific and technical information on peaceful uses of atomic energy. One way this is achieved is through a range of technical publications including the IAEA Nuclear Energy Series.

      The IAEA Nuclear Energy Series comprises publications designed to further the use of nuclear technologies in support of sustainable development, to advance nuclear science and technology, catalyse innovation and build capacity to support the existing and expanded use of nuclear power and nuclear science applications. The publications include information covering all policy, technological and management aspects of the definition and implementation of activities involving the peaceful use of nuclear technology. While the guidance provided in IAEA Nuclear Energy Series publications does not constitute Member States’ consensus, it has undergone internal peer review and been made available to Member States for comment prior to publication.

      The IAEA safety standards establish fundamental principles, requirements and recommendations to ensure nuclear safety and serve as a global reference for protecting people and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation.

      When IAEA Nuclear Energy Series publications address safety, it is ensured that the IAEA safety standards are referred to as the current boundary conditions for the application of nuclear technology.

      The interest of IAEA Member States in developing research reactor projects has grown significantly in recent years, and several Member States are currently in different stages of new research reactor projects for the development of their nuclear science and technology programmes. The significant construction, operating and decommissioning costs of research reactors mean that the investment body (often the government of a Member State) will require efficient processes to be used during the major parts spanning the lifetime of the facility so that costs can be optimized. Employing good practice project management during construction will support the delivery of a facility that is ready for commissioning and operation. Project management is concerned with the definition, coordination and control of large undertakings and has within its remit the objectives of scope, technical quality, schedule and costs. Improved direction, control and expediting of the construction of research reactor projects by competent project management provides opportunities to reduce costs through efficient conduct of work, higher workforce productivity, intelligent choices on procurement, and the precise scheduling of testing and installation of systems, structures and components, all of which are intended to deliver a safe facility and reduce the financial burden during construction.

      This publication draws on proven practices in a number of Member States to provide guidance on project management during the construction of a research reactor facility, from the preparatory phase to turnover for commissioning. It also includes experience gained and lessons learned from project management for significant modifications of research reactors. The publication is intended to support project managers and their staff in better managing research reactor construction and modification projects and thereby contribute to establishing research reactors in Member States as viable and safe infrastructure for nuclear science and technology.

      The IAEA wishes to thank all contributors to this publication, in particular G. Storr (Australia), who compiled the draft versions of the text through two consultancy meetings. The IAEA officers responsible for this publication were Y. Cho and A. Sitnikov of the Division of Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Technology, A. Shokr of the Division of Nuclear Installation Safety and D. Ridikas of the Division of Physical and Chemical Sciences.
