Structure and Requirements
The Country Nuclear Power Profiles compiles background information on the status and development of nuclear power programmes in Member States. It consists of organizational and industrial aspects of nuclear power programmes and provides information about the relevant legislative, regulatory, and international frameworks in each country.
The compilation’s main objectives are to consolidate information about the nuclear power infrastructures in participating countries, and to present factors related to the effective planning, decision-making, and implementation of nuclear power programmes that together lead to safe and economic operations. Its descriptive and statistical overview of the overall economic, energy, and electricity situation in each country, and its nuclear power framework is intended to serve as an integrated source of key background information about nuclear power programmes in the world.
The CNPP website has been deployed and allows reports to be updated as and when they are delivered and revised, instead of completing yearly updates, making CNPP even more current.
The following structure was revised in 2009 and 2013 to include additional requirements related to nuclear power development. The new structure should be used by the national contributors as guidance for the country nuclear power profile.
References on where to find more detailed information should be given when appropriate (websites in the country). All tables and charts should contain the source of information. If a section is not applicable to a particular country, then it should be said that it is not applicable.
A.
CNPP REPORT UPDATES
As a minimum it is required that each CNPP report is updated at least once in two years, nevertheless an annual update is appreciated.
After reviewing and processing, the updated CNPP reports are published on the CNPP website. This can be done anytime. However, in order to be included in the annual CNPP publication, which happens in August every year, the update should be submitted to the IAEA by May 31st.
B.
FORMAT REQUIREMENTS
The tool used to upload CNPP to the
online system converts the Word document to HTML format.
The Word document must be formatted
with certain styles and those styles be named exactly in the way detailed
below in order to be recognised, processed, and uploaded correctly using the
tool.
Styles must be assigned to headings
throughout the report in the following way:
·
Assign styles to headings
(style names must be unified throughout every profile)
o
Title of report: ‘Title1’
o
Date of update (i.e.
subtitle): ‘Title date’
o
First section (i.e. 1.):
‘Chapter title’
(apply this style also to References, Appendices)
o
Second section (i.e.
1.1.): ‘Subsection 1’
(apply this style also to Coordinator info)
o
Third section (i.e.
1.1.1.): ‘Subsection 2’
·
Assign the bookmark ‘REACTOR’
to Table 7 (list of current reactors, section 2.2.1). The data for Table 7
will then be generated automatically and updated via the PRIS database.
·
Assign bookmarks ‘Tx’
to all Word tables which should not be treated as tables by the CNPP
database, where x stands for 1, 2, 3…
To clarify, these are
tables which have been used for formatting purposes, say to have laws listed
in one column and the relevant ratification date listed in the next. They
are NOT the official tables providing information as specified in the
Structure and Requirements Guide.
·
Make sure all cells in
all tables are properly merged
o
Delete any empty rows,
however stylish they may look
o
Make sure this does not
happen:
|
Title broken |
|
up into separate |
|
(but hidden) rows |
·
Set all pictures to be
formatted as ‘In line with text’ and centred
·
Make sure the titles of
all figures and tables are centred (and of a standardized format, consistent
at least within each profile)
