Fukushima lessons for the PSR process

摘要

Although significant improvement is brought to the operational safety of the nuclear power plants, through measures such as the promotion of operational safety peer reviews (OSART, WANO, INPO), it may be questioned whether design aspects received the same level of attention. The PSR, more specifically Safety Factor 1 of the PSR, provides an interesting framework wherein the NPP design may be compared to the current standards or to more recent design. Such benchmarking may encourage design upgrades aiming to strengthen the NPP robustness.
