Fundamental to the successful operation of any nuclear site is a first-class safety culture that strives to continually improve in response to good industry practices and operating experience feedback. Following some anecdotal evidence on both the importance but also the challenges of sharing learning, some information will be provided on an international effort to develop a Criticality Safety "Learning From Experience" (LFE) database. Audience members will be provided with the opportunity to feedback on the database and shape its future development.
