The Standards Committee of Atomic Energy Society of Japan has been leading activities related to long-term operation through the revision of the Code of Practice for Aging Management, and we believe that we must continue to make important contributions in light of recent changes in laws and regulations. This paper recapitulates the discussions in the special session conducted at the 2023 fall meeting, and describes the efforts toward safe long-term operation and the points to keep in mind in the standardization of such activities. The important points are (1) to make effective use of knowledge found over time, (2) not to overlook new knowledge that has a significant impact on safety, including obsolescence, (3) to assign a level of importance to the response based on the impact on safety and the likelihood of its occurrence, and (4) to contribute to the establishment of an international knowledge base.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (abbreviated as IAEA) has been implementing the Asian Nuclear Safety Network (abbreviated as ANSN) activities since 2002. As part of this effort, Topical Group on Emergency Preparedness and Response (abbreviated as EPRTG) for nuclear or radiation disasters was established in 2006 under the umbrella of the ANSN. Based on the EPRTG proposal, the IAEA conducted 23 Asian regional workshops in the 12 years from 2006 to 2017. Typical topical fields of the regional workshops were nuclear emergency drills, emergency medical care, long-term response after nuclear/radiological emergency, international cooperation, national nuclear disaster prevention system. The Japan Atomic Energy Agency has produced coordinators for EPRTG since its establishment and has led its activities since then. This report summarizes the Asian regional workshops conducted by the IAEA based on the recommendations of the EPRTG.
