The Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) and Its Extension to Non-electrical Applications, Decommissioning and Delayed Projects Information

The IAEA’s Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) contains detailed information on nuclear power plants worldwide since they started commercial operation. It covers a broad range of information, including reactor design characteristics, plant general specifications, operating experience data and non-electrical applications of nuclear power plants such as steam production and desalination. This report describes all the elements of PRIS and explains the rules, coding, terminology and definitions used in the system.
