To meet the overall safety objectives and to achieve a balanced plant design, natural hazards have to be considered in the design of nuclear installations. Deriving the strength of such events from a...
This report documents a study performed on a set of ICDE events related to heat exchangers. The events studied here had been collected in the ICDE database. Organisations from Canada, Germany, Japan,...
In the light of the TEPCO Fukushima accident, this report documents a study performed on a set of common-cause failure (CCF) events due to external factors, meaning that not only storms and hurricane...
The Material Scaling (MASCA) Project investigated in-vessel phenomena during a severe accident. In particular, it addressed the influence of the chemical composition of the molten corium on the heat ...
This report documents a study performed on a set of common-cause failure (CCF) events of Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG) at nuclear power plants. In May 2000, the ICDE Project published a report su...
This report documents a study performed on a set of common-cause failure (CCF) events for diesel generators. The events were derived from the International CCF Data Exchange (ICDE) database and the s...
The purpose of the International Common Cause Data Exchange (ICDE) Project is to allow multiple countries to collaborate and exchange Common Cause Failure (CCF) data to enhance the quality of risk an...
The purpose of the ICDE Project is to allow multiple countries to collaborate and exchange common cause failure (CCF) data to enhance the quality of risk analyses that include CCF modelling. Because ...
Common-cause failure (CCF) events can significantly impact the availability of safety systems of nuclear power plants. For this reason, the International Common-Cause Failure Data Exchange (ICDE) Pro...
The Expert Group on Small and Modular Reactors (EGSMR) continues to make progress with its forthcoming report
