Selected Technical Reports
APOSS was involved in a number of projects in different countries, either as a member of consortium or subcontracted to one of the partners and associates, or implementing them on its own. The end users or beneficiaries are from the four continents (Europe, Asia, Americas and Africa). The projects included safety analyses implementation, safety analysis reviews, assessments and evaluation, consulting in the field of nuclear safety, as well as training, workshops and consulting in the capacity building in these areas. The services provided were described and documented in numerous technical documents, in the form of studies, evaluations or review reports. Following below is a selection of specific topics covered by those documents which were either completely written by the APOSS staff or were by them considerably contributed.
