Scientific research and development of regulatory documents

Research and development (R&D) and regulatory document development (RD) in the nuclear industry are interrelated processes that ensure nuclear, radiation, and technical safety.
Research results serve as the foundation for scientific advances and strict standards for their use.
When conducting complex R&D, METR relies on the ISDC (IAEA/NEA) international cost structure and the Frascati Manual. This ensures that the results of calculations, safety assessments, and patent research are recognized by international regulators.
The cost of developing regulatory/standard safety documents (RD) fully compliant with IAEA requirements
(including the SSR and GSG series) is calculated individually.
You can use the base cost and timeline of similar projects as a reference.
The final budget depends on the number of international experts involved,
the scope and complexity of the project.

- Calculation and theoretical researchLiterature review, patent research, mathematical modeling of processes, initial assessment of nuclear and radiation safety: 2-5 months
- Experimental researchDevelopment of test methods, modeling of processes on benches, materials science analysis of standard and special samples: 4 - 9 months.
- Development of regulatory documents (RD)Creation of organizational standards (STO), methods, regulations, and guidelines harmonized with the requirements of the IAEA and Rostekhnadzor: 3-8 months
- Complex international projectsConducting end-to-end R&D and developing regulatory documentation for nuclear facilities, taking into account the IAEA SSR and GSG international safety criteria:
6-12 months
The timeframes shown in the table include computational and theoretical justification, patent research, document development, and procedures for review and harmonization with IAEA standards.
If R&D or regulatory development requires extensive testing, their timeframe and cost are calculated separately and are not included in the basic documentation development schedule.
