¹ The li­cence hold­er must mon­it­or field-re­lated sci­entif­ic de­vel­op­ments, es­pe­cially find­ings ob­tained from re­search activ­it­ies, and must ex­am­ine the ex­tent to which con­clu­sions may be drawn there­from con­cern­ing safety and se­cur­ity of the li­cence hold­er’s in­stall­a­tion.

² The li­cence hold­er must mon­it­or tech­no­lo­gic­al de­vel­op­ments, in­clud­ing those re­lat­ing to or­gan­isa­tion and per­son­nel, and must ex­am­ine the ex­tent to which con­clu­sions may be drawn there­from con­cern­ing the safety and se­cur­ity of the li­cence hold­er’s in­stall­a­tion. The fol­low­ing are of par­tic­u­lar rel­ev­ance:

a.

re­cog­nised do­mest­ic and for­eign tech­nic­al stand­ards;

b.

reg­u­la­tions of the coun­try sup­ply­ing the nuc­le­ar in­stall­a­tion, as well as of oth­er coun­tries, re­lat­ing to nuc­le­ar tech­no­logy;

c.

re­com­mend­a­tions of in­ter­na­tion­al bod­ies;

d.

state of the art in nuc­le­ar in­stall­a­tions of a sim­il­ar nature and in oth­er rel­ev­ant in­stall­a­tions.

³ The li­cence hold­er must mon­it­or op­er­at­ing ex­per­i­ences and find­ings of sim­il­ar in­stall­a­tions and as­sess their sig­ni­fic­ance for his own in­stall­a­tion.
