Background:
As of March 2009, more than 75% of the radionuclide particulate network has been installed and sending data to the International Data Centre (IDC). This constitutes a great deal of information about the performance of the different types of equipment installed at radionuclide stations. On the other hand, daily state-of-health monitoring of the stations and incident tracking through the International Monitoring System (IMS) Reporting System (IRS) provides an excellent database for classifying and analyzing different types of failures of radionuclide stations with the view of improving their performance by identifying recurrent problems.

Since 2004, annual studies of failure analysis of particulate radionuclide stations have been conducted and the outcome of this analysis helped to implement actions in order to increase data availability and minimize downtime of radionuclide particulate stations. The Engineering & Development Section of the IMS intends to continue performing this analysis for the 2011 and 2012 failures.

The Commission seeks a consultant with background knowledge in radionuclide equipment and failure analysis.
