Central indicant reporting and evaluation office of VGB evaluation of special incidents in nuclear power plants

摘要

The Central Incident Reporting and Evaluation Office (ZMA) has been founded upon recommendation of the plant managers of German nuclear power plants in 1984 to serve as a central point of information flows at VGB. Since then all incidents have been reported to ZMA that are safety-relevant, have an important bearing on the availability or are of public interest. These incidents are stored in a data base and made available to all member companies for their exchange of experience. Measures taken lend to continual improvements of the plant safety and availability.
