Book Description
At the request of the United States (U.S.) government, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) assembled a team of 20 senior safety experts to review the regulatory framework for the safety of operating nuclear power plants in the United States. This review focused on the effectiveness of the regulatory functions implemented by the NRC and on its commitment to nuclear safety and continuous improvement. One suggestion resulting from that review was that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) incorporate lessons learned from periodic safety reviews (PSRs) performed in other countries as an input to the NRC's assessment processes. In the U.S., commercial nuclear power plants (NPPs) are granted an initial 40-year operating license, which may be renewed for additional 20-year periods, subject to complying with regulatory requirements. The NRC has established a framework through its inspection, and operational experience processes to ensure the safe operation of licensed nuclear facilities on an ongoing basis. In contrast, most other countries do not impose a specific time limit on the operating licenses for NPPs, they instead require that the utility operating the plant perform PSRs, typically at approximately 10-year intervals, to assure continued safe operation until the next assessment. The staff contracted with Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) to perform a pilot review of selected translated PSR assessment reports and related documentation from foreign nuclear regulatory authorities to identify any potential new regulatory insights regarding license renewal-related topics and NPP operating experience (OpE). A total of 14 PSR assessment documents from 9 countries were reviewed. For all of the countries except France, individual reports were provided for each of the plants reviewed. In the case of France, three reports were provided that reviewed the performance assessment of thirty-four 900-MWe reactors of similar design commissioned between 1978 and 1988. All of the reports reviewed were the regulator's assessment of the PSR findings rather than the original PSR report, and all but one were English translations from the original language. In these reviews, it was found that most of the countries base their regulatory guidance to some extent (and often to a large extent) on U.S. design codes and standards, NRC regulatory guidance, and U.S. industry guidance. In addition, many of the observed operational technical issues and OpE events reported for U.S. reactors are also cited in the PSR reports. The PSR reports also identified a number of potential technical material/component performance issues and OpE events that are not commonly reported for U.S. plants.

Selected Safety Aspects of WWER-440 Model 213 Nuclear Power Plants
Author: International Atomic Energy AgencyPublisher:

Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
In 1991, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) of the former Czechoslovakia requested that an evaluation of the safety aspects of the WWER-440 model 213 nuclear power plant be undertaken under the auspices of the IAEA. The request for this study was a logical progression from the activities related to the accident analysis of WWER type reactors that had been originated under the IAEA Technical Co-operation Regional Programme in 1985 and carried out until 1990 with the participation of Bulgaria, the former Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and the former USSR. The prime objective of the Project was to co-ordinate and integrate assistance given to national organizations in studying selected aspects of safety for the same type of reactors. Consequently, the study integrated these results. This report provides a comprehensive review of the conduct and the final results of the Project. It summarizes both the detailed material published earlier in IAEA-TECDOCs Nos 742, 803, 810, 811 and 848 and other material. It will be useful to everyone working in the field of WWER safety, and in particular to experts planning, executing or reviewing studies related to WWER safety.
