How we work
PALLAS has extensive social importance. The reactor can save many lives, but we also understand its impact on safety and the environment. Therefore, we follow multiple principles and adhere to standards set by existing regulations and by our pursuit of excellence.
For PALLAS, the security of its (nuclear) facilities, material, and information is vital. To prevent the safety of people and the environment from being compromised and to prevent data and information about the reactor, the technology, and/or (reactor) material from falling into the wrong hands, we comply with the following rules:
- PALLAS meets the conditions set in IAEA Nuclear Security Guidelines and Dutch legislation.
- PALLAS ensures that the reactor design will at least meet the relevant conditions as stated in Dutch and international legislation and that it meets regulations in the field of the security of nuclear installations and nuclear material.
- PALLAS maintains the correct classification for security procedures for the design documentation, including the implementation of the ‘need to know’ principle.
- PALLAS involves all employees with and ensures that all employees are working with the security procedures and instructions. PALLAS will train them and will continuously strive for improvement.
