The management of nuclear safety is framed within the Integrated Management System implemented by the IBERDROLA Nuclear Generation Division, which comprises its own manuals and development procedures, in compliance with the S 19 Requirement of the Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear (Nuclear Safety Council), based on the document “Safety Requirements nº GS-R-3: The Management System for Facilities and Activities” of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its applicable documentation (GS-G-3.1 “Application of the Management System for facilities and Activities” and DS349 “Application of the Management System for Nuclear Facilities” safety guides).

The concept of safety upheld by IBERDROLA integrates all safety-related  concerns, including nuclear safety, radiological protection, security of facilities and nuclear material, and the prevention of occupational risks, and is based on a “continuous improvement cycle” applicable to all management areas (safety, security, environment, economics, etc).

The correct development of the Integrated Management System is based upon the premises which follow:

• Definition of IBERDROLA’s Mission and Vision:
  • Mission: To generate electric power in a safe and reliable manner while respecting the environment and maintaining profitability.
  • Vision: To be Spain’s leading utility in the generation of both conventional and nuclear power, based upon technical experience, responsible operations and excellent results.
   
• Identification and development of IBERDROLA’S own values, set forth in its Code of Ethics of IBERDROLA, S.A. and its Group of Companies [PDF]: commitment and capacity for achievement, example and leadership, teamwork, training, search for continuous improvement and quality, promotion of proaction, flexibility and initiative in problem solving, customer (internal and external) focus, and innovation.
• Establishment of management policies in relation to safety, quality, and environmental protection. The latter are certified, respectively, by the ISO 9001 and 14001 standards.
