Download or read book Best Practices in the Utilization and Dissemination of Operating Experience at Nuclear Power Plants written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effectively utilising and disseminating operating experience is one of the major elements of an operating experience feedback programme. Although not recognised prior to the event, most subsequent investigations identify internal and external industry operating experience that, if applied effectively, would have prevented the event. The use of the guidance provided by this publication will be helpful to nuclear installations, and related institutions including contractors and support organisations to strengthen and enhance their own feedback process through the implementation of best practices in the utilisation and dissemination process and to assess the effectiveness of the above area. This publication develops some of the principles set forth in the PROSPER guidelines issued by the IAEA in 2003 to provide advice and assistance to nuclear installations to strengthen and enhance their own operating experience programmes.

Download or read book Periodic Safety Review of Operational Nuclear Power Plants written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide supplements Safety Series No. 110: The Safety of Nuclear Installations, a safety fundamentals publication, and Safety Series No. 50-C-O (Rev. 1): Code on the Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Operation. It primarily provides guidance on the conduct of a periodic safety review (PSR) of an operational nuclear power plant. A PSR is designed to take a comprehensive account of improvements in safety standards and operating practices, cumulative effects of plant ageing, modifications and feedback of operating experience, and developments in science and technology that have occurred over a ten year period. PSRs provide the means for determining necessary or worthwhile changes aimed at maintaining high levels of plant safety and harmonizing the safety of older plants with that of modern plants.
Download or read book Nuclear Power Plant Operating Experience written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages.

Book excerpt: The International Reporting System for Operating Experience (IRS) is an essential element of the international operating experience feedback system for nuclear power plants. Its fundamental objective is to contribute to improving safety of commercial nuclear power plants which are operated worldwide. IRS reports contain information on events of safety significance with important lessons learned which assist in reducing recurrence of events at other plants. This sixth publication, covering the period 2012 - 2014, follows the structure of the previous editions. It highlights important lessons based on a review of the approximately 240 event reports received from the participating countries over this period.

Download or read book Nuclear Decommissioning written by Michele Laraia and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a nuclear installation has reached the end of its safe and economical operational lifetime, the need for its decommissioning arises. Different strategies can be employed for nuclear decommissioning, based on the evaluation of particular hazards and their attendant risks, as well as on the analysis of costs of clean-up and waste management. This allows for decommissioning either soon after permanent shutdown, or perhaps a long time later, the latter course allowing for radioactivity levels to drop in any activated or contaminated components. It is crucial for clear processes and best practices to be applied in decommissioning such installations and sites, particular where any significant health and environmental risks exist. This book critically reviews the nuclear decommissioning processes and technologies applicable to nuclear power plants and other civilian nuclear facilities. Part one focuses on the fundamental planning issues in starting a nuclear decommissioning process, from principles and safety regulations, to financing and project management. Part two covers the execution phase of nuclear decommissioning projects, detailing processes and technologies such as dismantling, decontamination, and radioactive waste management, as well as environmental remediation, site clearance and reuse. Finally, part three details international experience in the decommissioning of nuclear applications, including the main nuclear reactor types and nuclear fuel cycle facilities, as well as small nuclear facilities and legacy nuclear waste sites. Critically reviews nuclear decommissioning processes and technologies applicable to nuclear power plants and other civilian nuclear facilities Discusses the fundamental planning issues in starting a nuclear decommissioning process Considers the execution phase of nuclear decommissioning projects, including dismantling, decontamination, and radioactive waste management, as well as environmental remediation, site clearance and reuse
