In the Federal Republic of Germany, the KTA (Nuclear Safety Standards Commission) has the mandate of preparing regulatory or safety standards for nuclear technology. These safety standards detail requirements for all phases of the construction and operation of nuclear facilities with respect to quality assurance, design, manufacture, operation, and surveillance. The KTA is a 50-member commission instituted by the Federal Minister of the Interior and made up of representatives, all given equal influence, of the major groups involved in the nuclear licensing procedure. Currently, the program consists of 112 safety standards, of which 45 have been approved and published in their final versions.
