Art.9 ARTICLE 9. OPERATION OF FACILITIES
Art.9.1x Each Contracting Party shall take the appropriate steps to ensure that:
Art.9.1x.i (i) the licence to operate a spent fuel management facility is based upon appropriate assessments as specified in Article 8 and is conditional on the completion of a commissioning programme demonstrating that the facility, as constructed, is consistent with design and safety requirements;
Art.9.1x.ii (ii) operational limits and conditions derived from tests, operational experience and the assessments, as specified in Article 8, are defined and revised as necessary;
Art.9.1x.iii (iii) operation, maintenance, monitoring, inspection and testing of a spent fuel management facility are conducted in accordance with established procedures;
Art.9.1x.iv (iv) engineering and technical support in all safety-related fields are available throughout the operating lifetime of a spent fuel management facility;
Art.9.1x.v (v) incidents significant to safety are reported in a timely manner by the holder of the licence to the regulatory body;
Art.9.1x.vi (vi) programmes to collect and analyse relevant operating experience are established and that the results are acted upon, where appropriate;
Art.9.1x.vii (vii) decommissioning plans for a spent fuel management facility are prepared and updated, as necessary, using information obtained during the operating lifetime of that facility, and are reviewed by the regulatory body.
Art.16 ARTICLE 16. OPERATION OF FACILITIES
Art.16.1x Each Contracting Party shall take the appropriate steps to ensure that:
Art.16.1x.i (i) the licence to operate a radioactive waste management facility is based upon appropriate assessments as specified in Article 15 and is conditional on the completion of a commissioning programme demonstrating that the facility, as constructed, is consistent with design and safety requirements;
Art.16.1x.ii (ii) operational limits and conditions, derived from tests, operational experience and the assessments as specified in Article 15 are defined and revised as necessary;
Art.16.1x.iii (iii) operation, maintenance, monitoring, inspection and testing of a radioactive waste management facility are conducted in accordance with established procedures. For a disposal facility the results thus obtained shall be used to verify and to review the validity of assumptions made and to update the assessments as specified in Article 15 for the period after closure;
Art.16.1x.iv (iv) engineering and technical support in all safety-related fields are available throughout the operating lifetime of a radioactive waste management facility;

Art.16.1x.vi (vi) incidents significant to safety are reported in a timely manner by the holder of the licence to the regulatory body;
Art.16.1x.vii (vii) programmes to collect and analyse relevant operating experience are established and that the results are acted upon, where appropriate;
Art.16.1x.viii (viii) decommissioning plans for a radioactive waste management facility other than a disposal facility are prepared and updated, as necessary, using information obtained during the operating lifetime of that facility, and are reviewed by the regulatory body;
Art.16.1x.ix (ix) plans for the closure of a disposal facility are prepared and updated, as necessary, using information obtained during the operating lifetime of that facility and are reviewed by the regulatory body.
