Abstract
about which data should be provided as operator declaration for Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant(RRP), and data item and structure was basically based on the experience of an existing reprocessing facility. But around at the beginning of 2003, IAEA showed us the procedure to arrange and unify the declaration data format and classification as a scheme of so called “OPerator Declarations (OPD)”. Then, the operator declaration discussion has been continued based on this OPD scheme, and now the specification of OPD is almost agreed with IAEA. In this paper, the OPD scheme is outlined with the OPD rules, data format, the structure of computer system related to OPD, how and when OPD data is submitted.
