RISK REDUCTION IN NUCLEAR FACILITY DEACTIVATION – DECOMMISSIONING RESTORATION (DDR): A SYSTEMS ENGINEERED APPROACH

摘要

The basic elements of Deactivation, Decommissioning and Restoration (DD&R) are Characterization, Licensee Documentation, Integrated Safety Management, Management Planning and Procedures, Worker Training and Construction Execution, Nuclear Conduct of Operations, and Integrated Waste Management. With increased pressure to accelerate and streamline project execution, an increased emphasis is needed for risk reduction, graded technical and programmatic approach, and state of the art risk analysis. The systems engineered approach to risk reduction allows owner, contractor, regulatory authorities and stakeholders to make, analyze, and document critical choices that impact DD&R projects. Stakeholder site-wide collaboration and assessment of risk needs more refined development to access, plan and establish performance milestones and deliverables for project acceleration and stakeholder satisfaction within project end state requirements. This paper addresses the systems engineered approach to access and plan risk reduction. The systems engineered approach deals with key criteria and methodology for a systematic approach, analysis and monetization for risk reduction. These key criteria and methodology for risk analysis and reduction will further focus all stakeholders on issues and choices that result in safer, accelerated DD&R projects. The systems engineered approach builds consensus for risk reduction methodology as well as documents planning and closure implementation. Discipline in risk based initiatives drives projects to faster, more efficient project end state closure.
