Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Introduction

Experience of criticality accidents and evidence of operations history worldwide has indicated that

human errors on different levels (management, operations staff, and/or operations supervisors),

through lack of understanding or ignorance of nuclear criticality safety, have contributed to accidents.

In order to maintain nuclear criticality safety for facilities handling and processing fissile material it is

necessary to ensure the operations staff, operations supervisors, and management are suitably trained

in nuclear criticality safety. This document was developed in response to demand for a definition of the

minimum nuclear criticality safety training requirements for operations staff, operations supervisors,

and management.

This training is distinct from that of the training necessary for nuclear criticality safety staff in that

it is tailored to suit the needs of maintaining nuclear criticality safety for operations. This document

sets out standards for achieving and maintaining an adequate level of understanding and knowledge in

order to operate nuclear facilities safely with respect to nuclear criticality safety.

This document covers high-level training for maintaining nuclear criticality safety. This includes

preparedness for and response to a potential criticality accident. ISO 11320 contains more specific

training provisions on emergency preparedness and response. This document supports integrating such

provisions, when relevant, within the training program for operations staff, operations supervisors,

and management.

1 Scope

This document specifies minimum nuclear criticality safety training requirements for operations staff,

operations supervisors, and management.

This document is applicable to areas, processes or facilities containing quantities of fissile material for

which nuclear criticality safety assessment is required as defined in ISO 1709.

This document is not applicable to the transport of fissile materials outside the boundaries of nuclear

establishments.

workers who, in the act of carrying out activities as part of a facility or process, have duties for

maintaining nuclear criticality safety

Note 1 to entry: These include staff and (sub)contractors performing activities in accordance with written

procedures as part of production, processing and handling of fissile material. They may also include workers

such as maintenance workers, and health physics monitors if they could have an effect on nuclear criticality

safety either through action or inaction as part of their duties. They do not include support staff, whose actions

would not be expected to affect fissile material processes.
3.2
operations supervisors

individuals who direct or supervise operations staff (3.1) in the production, processing or handling of

fissile material, and who accept responsibility for the safety of operations under his/her control

3.3
management

3.4
nuclear criticality safety staff

individuals competent in the assessment of nuclear criticality safety requirements

Note 1 to entry: The staff might not be competent in nuclear criticality safety for all fissile material operations

carried out on a nuclear site but will be familiar with the fissile material operations for which they provide

nuclear criticality safety support.

The nuclear criticality safety program shall include an operations nuclear criticality safety training

program.
4.3 Objectives

An operations nuclear criticality safety training program shall address the following principal training

objectives:

a) Understanding of the nature of a criticality accident so that the severity of the hazard and the need

for maintaining safety are understood.

b) Understanding of the mechanisms and activities to control nuclear criticality safety.

c) Understanding that everyone involved in operations, directly or indirectly, can affect nuclear

criticality safety.

d) Understanding of nuclear criticality safety relating to operations in the specific workplace.

e) Understanding of the role of emergency preparedness and
