The topic of the second TPR is fire protection at nuclear installations and process will continue in 2022-2024. Lithuania will participate in the second topical review.

TPR is a mechanism for EU Member States to examine topics of strategic importance to nuclear safety, to exchange experience and to identify opportunities to strengthen nuclear safety.

The revised Directive (2014/87/EURATOM) introduced a European system of Topical Peer Reviews (TPRs) commencing in 2017 and taking place at least every six years thereafter. Initiation for the peer review process and preparation of relevant documents started in 2020 and in 2021 decision was made to examine the fire protection topic and organize peer review process in nuclear power plants, enrichment plants, research reactor facilities, spent fuel storage facilities and storage facilities for radioactive waste that are on the same site and directly related to the nuclear installations.
