IAEA Emergency Preparedness and
Response Information Management
system (EPRIMS)
Joint IAEA-KINS Regional Network Meeting on Radiation
Safety and Emergency Preparedness and Response
25 – 29 June 2018, Daejeon, Republic of Korea
Incident and Emergency Centre , IAEA
Contents
• Introduction
• What is EPRIMS?
• Purpose of EPRIMS
– Self-assessment
– Improving international EPR
– Supporting TC Programme
Nuclear and radiological
emergencies are complex
Information is key for
adequate preparedness and
effective response
EPRIMS fills the gap on EPR
• There was no single point of
reference for EPR
• RASIMS TSA5 was not enough
– Limited to TC MS
– Coordinator was not EPR expert

Emergency Preparedness and Response Information Management System
EPRIMS
What is EPRIMS?
A web-based knowledge management tool:
• A database of information about a country’s arrangements
and systems for managing nuclear and radiological
emergencies
• Emergency preparedness and response self-assessment tool
(required for EPREV, Emergency Preparedness Review)
• Nuclear reactor technical information (RTI) database
• EPRIMS also replaces TSA5 of RASIMS
EPRIMS responds to
• HarmonizationKnowing about other countries’ EPR arrangements helps harmonization
• Global understanding
Sharing information on issues and challenges promotes a global understanding
• Enhance national capabilities
Sharing knowledge on solutions helps enhance national capabilities
• Better prognosis and assessment
Sharing data on reactor designs helps the prognosis and assessment during emergencies
(The RTI is used by IEC in the Assessment Tools)
It is One-Stop-Shop for EPR
• MS EPR in one place
• Standardized across MS (TC, non-TC)
• Advanced information management
• Comprehensive sharing of information
• Users are EPR experts coming from
– NCA in MS
– IEC at IAEA
Initial design process 2013 -2015
EPRIMS launch
• In Sept 2015
• During the IAEA General Conference
Implementation
• Note Verbal
– Sent to MS in Nov 2015
– To ensure regular self-assessments
– To nominate National Coordinators
• Quarterly webinars for users
• EPRIMS implementation required for EPREV
• EPRIMS implementation became input to
TC activities on EPR
Your experience?
• Have you heard about EPRIMS?
• Do you have personal experience?
It was time for revision
• Consultancy in May 2017
• Suggested:
– Bug fixes
– New features
– Improved UI
• 130 items in total
Development of next EPRIMS
• From suggestions
• And mock-ups
• To code
• Q4 2017 – Q2 2018
• EPRIMS 2.0 to be
lanuched soon
Key upgrades
• Country Profile – NEW FEATURE
• Improved Home Page
• Reorganized menu
• Streamlined Self-Assessment
– Simplified data entry
– Improved reading mode
– Deemphasized PIs
– Module export for editing
Country Profile
Country Profile
• Summary of EPR
• Includes data from
other IAEA systems
• Visible to all
EPRIMS users
Self-assesment in EPRIMS
Allows member states to measure themselves
against the IAEA safety standards
– The self-assessment is performed in detail,
according to GSR Part 7 and its Emergency
Preparedness Categories
– General requirements (4)
Functional requirements (14)
Requirements for infrastucture (7)

Performing Self-Assessment
Why the Self-Assessment?
• Self-assessment is a method to determine
where improvements are needed in order to
meet IAEA safety standards
• Results used for decision on holding or
postponing the EPREV mission
• The process itself increases awareness of
the current EPR arrangements and systems
in the country
• INEX 5 Exercise in March 2016
• 1 event but 3 different protective actions by
3 Member States
Transboundary emergency
Enhancing preparedness and response
through EPRIMS:
- harmonization of arrangements during
preparedness stage
- using RTI and other information in
EPRIMS during response to a nuclear or
radiological emergency
Relevance of EPRIMS
EPRIMS & International Cooperation
Cooperation between MS can be based upon
information in EPRIMS:
• EPR arrangements and
• Relevant documents:
– national plans
– operational procedures
EPRIMS & National EPR
• Overview of the EPR arrangements of
similar, comparable countries
– information for planning, good practices,
solutions
• RTI for understanding the emergency in
another state during the response
EPRIMS facilitates
• Building trust and understanding between
Member States
• Coordinated and consistent response to
relevant nuclear or radiological emergencies
The IAEA TC Programme
IAEA Statue, Article II
“The Agency shall seek to accelerate and
enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to
peace, health and prosperity throughout the
world. It shall ensure, so far as it is able, that
assistance provided by it or at its request or
under its supervision or control is not used in
such a way as to further any military
purpose.”

Reference on RASIMS
What is RASIMS?
• An IAEA web-based platform
• Member States and IAEA to jointly collect, analyze and view information regarding the national infrastructure for radiation and waste safety.
• The IAEA, through TC Programme, is helpingMember States to establish and sustain theirRadiation Safety Infrastructure according tothe Radiation Safety Standards.
Thematic Safety Areas (TSAs)
• To address the complexity of this task, seven
key areas, known as Thematic Safety Areas
(TSAs), have been identified
• TSA1- TSA7
Emergency Preparedness and
Response (TSA 5) = EPRIMS
TSA5 and role of EPRIMS
The TSA5 has been replaced by EPRIMS

Summary
• EPRIMS uniquely supports EPR by
– Facilitating self-assessment
– Encouraging information sharing
– Supporting TC Programme
• However, its potential depends on users!
