Critical Review of the Swedish Stress Tests Report
Report by Oda Becker
The following report presents a review of the Swedish NPPs based on national stress tests report as well as on the country stress tests report [ENSREG 2012]. The review details the main weaknesses identified by operators, national regulator and peer review team. Some of the suggested remedial measures are also listed. Important shortcomings not mentioned in the stress tests reports are also discussed. Those evaluations do not claim to be exhaustive, but it is hoped that the findings will contribute to a more complete understanding of nuclear power plant safety in Sweden.
Safety of new NPP designs
This report sets out the common positions established by the Reactor Harmonization Working Group (RHWG) of WENRA on the selected key safety issues. The work was initiated and also a major part of the work was carried out before the TEPCO Fukushima Dai-ichi accident. Therefore, the report discusses also some considerations based on the major lessons from the Fukushima Dai-ichi accident, especially concerning the design of new nuclear power plants, and how they are covered in the new reactor safety objectives and the common positions.
