The July 2006 Forsmark-1 event identified a number of design deficiencies related to electrical power supply to systems and components important to safety in nuclear power plants. The CSNI establishe...
A Task Group on the Robustness of Electrical Systems of NPPs in Light of the Fukushima Daiichi Accident (ROBELSYS) had been set up to improve the understanding of nuclear power plant electrical syste...
The NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) established a task group to examine Defence in Depth of Electrical Systems and Grid Interaction (DIDELSYS). The DIDELSYS Project, carri...
The ICDE project allows multiple countries to collaborate and exchange CCF data to enhance the quality of risk analyses, which include CCF modelling. Because CCF events are typically rare, most count...
Joint NEA-IAEA meeting on electrical power systems, 2‑5 December 2019
Nuclear facilities rely on a robust electrical system to power primary and back-up systems required to safely respond to a wide variety of challenging events.
The main mission of the Working Group on the Safety of Electrical Systems (WGELEC) is to advance the current understanding and address safety issues related to electrical systems of nuclear installat...
The December 2000 meeting of the NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) accepted a proposal to set up a task group to prepare a report describing research efforts related to wire...
Several member countries of the Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD/NEA) established the International Common-Cause Failure Data Exchange Project...
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 NEA Working Group on Electrical Power Systems (WGELEC) and the IAEA organised a joint workshop on the “Current Implementation Status of Measures to Manage Open Phase Conditions in Electrical Powe...
In this document, the general coding guidelines for the OECD NEA ICDE Project (International Common Cause Failure Data Exchange) are presented with explanations and appendices for each analysed compo...
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,...
