WORKSHOP PLAN
The main aims of the workshop are to provide the participants with the knowledge and tools to be able:
• To develop and implement an action plan to establish the capability to respond to emergencies at
their research reactors, and
• To develop plans and procedures to respond in case of emergencies at research reactors.

The workshop is divided into blocks, which are further divided into modules. Module is a generic term to

upon completion of the block (broad statements) or module (detailed
statements)
Content or tasks: short list of subjects (for the seminar) or tasks (for the work session, drill or
exercise) to be covered in the module
Activity: the way or method in which module is presented or conducted
Duration: presentation time or duration of the session
Training material: material distributed beforehand or at the workshop itself to the participants
(seminar notes, work session notes, exercise manuals, other supporting
materials)
References: additional written material (not distributed but displayed), which could help
participants to get deeper insight into the subject of the module
Equipment needs: rooms, equipment, working material needed to conduct the module
