This safety practice report provides guidance on conducting a Level 1 PSA for internal events in nuclear power plants. The main emphasis is on the procedural steps of the PSA rather than the details of the corresponding methods. The report is intended to assist technical persons managing or performing PSAs. A particular aim is to promote a standardized framework, terminology and form of documen…
This report provides detailed guidance on how to review probabilistic safety assessments (PSAs) for nuclear power plants with the purpose of providing a basis for taking risk informed decisions within a regulatory decision making process. It gives a detailed account of the field and also addresses the relevant technical issues.
Proceedings contains material Opening remarks and invited papers; Methodology (Session 2A); Regulatory applications (Session 2B); PSA use and applications – part I (Session 3A); Applications to process facilities (Session 3B(1) and International activities (Session 3B(2)); Operating experience and ageing (Session 4A); PSA use and applications – Part II (Session 4B); PSA results and insights…
This book examines what is currently known about building safe electromechanical systems and looks at the accidents of the past to see what lessons can be applied to new computer-controlled systems. One obvious lessons is that most accidents are not the result of unknown scientific principles but rather of a failure to apply well-known, standard engineering practices. A second lesson is that ac…
This Safety Report compares the requirements of IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GS-R-3, The Management System for Facilities and Activities, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications (ASME NQA-1-2008, NQA-1a-2009). It identifies the similarities and differences between them and provides information and guidance to a…
