Implementation of Accident Management Programmes in Nuclear Power Plants


Book Description

This report provides a description of the elements which should be addressed by the team responsible for the preparation, development and implementation of a plant specific accident management programme at a nuclear power plant. The issues addressed include formation of the team, selection of accident management strategies, safety analyses required, evaluation of the performance of plant systems, development of accident management procedures and guidelines, staffing and qualification of accident management personnel, and training needs. The report is intended to facilitate the work to be done by NPP operators, utilities and their technical support organizations, but it can also be used for the preparation of relevant national regulatory requirements.

Safety of Nuclear Power Plants


Book Description

On the basis of the principles included in the Fundamental Safety Principles, IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SF-1, this Safety Requirements publication establishes requirements applicable to the design of nuclear power plants. It covers the design phase and provides input for the safe operation of the power plant. It elaborates on the safety objective, safety principles and concepts that provide the basis for deriving the safety requirements that must be met for the design of a nuclear power plant. Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Applying the safety principles and concepts; 3. Management of safety in design; 4. Principal technical requirements; 5. General plant design; 6. Design of specific plant systems.







Accident Analysis for Nuclear Power Plants


Book Description

Accident analysis is an important tool for confirming the adequacy and efficiency of provisions within the defence in depth concept for the safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs). The purpose of the report is to provide the necessary practical guidance for performing adequate accident analysis in the light of current good practice worldwide.




Accident Management Programmes in Nuclear Power Plants


Book Description

This guidebook provides a systematic, structured approach to the development and implementation of plant specific accident management programmes. It describes the major elements of accident management and their relationships, presents possible methods and techniques to solve specific problems and gives practical examples. Its main emphasis is on generic accident management guidelines, including evaluation of vulnerabilities, accident management strategies, symptom oriented emergency operating procedures, system utilization, training and organization.




Overview of Training Methodology for Accident Management at Nuclear Power Plants


Book Description

Available tools and support material, applicable to the training of the staff involved in accident management are discussed in this publication. Examples of such tools and materials are provided in the appendices. The report is intended to facilitate the work to be performed by NPP operators, utilities and their technical support organisations.







Basic Safety Principles for Nuclear Power Plants


Book Description

The present report is a revision of Safety Series No. 75-INSAG-3 (1988), updating the statements made on the objectives and principles of safe design and operation for electricity generating nuclear power plants. It includes the improvements made in the safety of operating nuclear power plants and identifies the principles underlying the best current safety policies to be applied in future plants. It presents INSAG's understanding of the principles underlying the best current safety policies and practices of the nuclear power industry.




Evaluation of the Safety of Operating Nuclear Power Plants Built to Earlier Standards


Book Description

This Safety Report complements Safety Guide No. 50-SG-O12, Periodic Safety Review of Operational Nuclear Power Plants (1994). It provides practical information for the safety assessment and judgement process for operating nuclear power plants built to earlier standards, on the basis of a comparison with current safety standards and operational practices.
