LLNL has shown that such a system can be successfully applied to a radiological research institution and many nuclear power plants around the world have done the same. Owners and operators of other nuclear power plants would be well served to consider using such a standard at their facilities. This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by the University of California, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract W-7405-Eng-48.  . . .

The auditing bodies themselves are typically evaluated and audited by a national accreditation body. Ongoing activities are then required to maintain the registration. These include monitoring and measuring the EMS, investigating and handling non-conformances, implementing corrective actions, and maintaining records. As an alternative to registration, "self-declaration" of conformity with ISO 14001 standards is an approved and officially sanctioned (by the ISO system) option. . . .
