On request, Krsko NPP also submits to the SNSA the safety evaluations of plant changes, which have no impact on the SAR.

The third category requires an approval by the SNSA before the change is implemented.

After the documentation package is submitted, the process of regulatory review, safety evaluation and decision making is officially started by the SNSA.

The arrangements to perform this independent evaluation are an implicit responsibility of the licensee, which is in practice accomplished in an agreement with the SNSA.

In all cases involving the submission of a modification to the SNSA, the formal administrative procedures prescribed in the Law on Administrative Procedure are followed.

The Technical specifications require that a report on planned modifications, tests and experiments on the plant is to be submitted 45 days before the license is expected to be issued by the SNSA.

All analysis and work was reviewed in parallel by the Krsko NPP, the TSO and the SNSA, resulting in a list of comments, categorized as suggestions, recommendations and required changes.

With this approach, all licensing issues (questions, concerns) were addressed and the whole process was performed in such a way as to enable the successful completion of the licensing process.

After the clarification and/or resolution of all comments, the TSO prepared Independent Evaluation Report(s), which were submitted together with other licensing documentation to the SNSA for their approval.

During this process, at least one hearing takes place to give Krsko NPP and the SNSA an opportunity to consider and discuss the application and open issues, if any.

After the clarification and/or resolution of all the comments, the TSO prepared Independent Evaluation Report(s), which were submitted together with other licensing documentation to the SNSA for their approval.

Such an approach is consistent with the applicable Law on Radiation Protection and the Safe Use of Nuclear Energy and resulted in practices established in daily communication between the SNSA and Krsko NPP.

An additional review and evaluation will be conducted for the steam generator replacement activities and associated modifications as a regular part of the SNSA and TSO activities during each outage.

Each of the work reports was reviewed in parallel by the Krsko NPP, the TSO and the SNSA, resulting in a list of comments, categorized as suggestions, recommendations and required changes (see Figure 1).

Krsko NPP is currently using the criteria and guidance established in the relevant legislation of the vendor country (USA, Code of Federal Regulations 10 CFR 50.59) and notifies the SNSA about all design modifications.

Before the proposed modification is implemented or submitted for approval to the SNSA, the safety evaluation has to be approved by the KOC (board of experts from the Krsko NPP personnel) and the KSC (board of external experts).

As documented in independent evaluation reports issued independently by each TSO, they were submitted to the SNSA for approval together with a comprehensive set of documentation prepared by the designer and manufacturer - consortium Siemens-Framatome.

Following the above suggestion of the SNSA, the Krsko NPP filed the application for the commencement of the licensing process for the steam generators' design, manufacture and testing on July 31, 1997. This was followed by the application for the commencement of the licensing process for the replacement of both steam generators and power uprating safety analyses on September 8, 1997.

With this approach (shown in Fig. 1) all licensing issues (questions, concerns) were addressed and resolved in due time with the SNSA and should enable the authorized restart of the plant after the power uprating and SG replacement is authorized.

Among other points, it states that national regulations and technical standards shall be applied and, when not available, the regulations and technical standards of the country of origin can be applied, if approved by the domestic regulatory organization (SNSA).

They are documented in a comprehensive set of reports which were used as the basis for the changes in the licensing documentation and were submitted to the SNSA in order to obtain an operational permit for the plant with he new steam generators and uprated power.

The following Technical Support Organizations were selected by Krsko NPP in agreement with the SNSA to act as independent reviewers for the analyses performed by Westinghouse:-Institute Jozef Stefan, Ljubljana,-Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing Department of Power Systems, Zagreb, Croatia,-Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, Ljubljana,-Enconet, Vienna, Austria.

Therefore, the SNSA suggested that the licensing process should be systematic and divided into the following parallel licensing processes:-design, manufacturing and testing of the Krsko NPP steam generators,-steam-generator replacement and power uprating safety analyses,-storage of old steam generators and radioactive waste as a result of the replacement.
