The Programme Review Group is established to perform a programme quality review function within the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) and to provide scientific assistance to the...
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 HEAF Project was planned as a three-year programme to be conducted by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at a facility in the US. The project's aim was to conduct experiments i...
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 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...
International Common-Cause Failure Data Exchange (ICDE) Project Report
This report documents a study performed on a set of common-cause failure (CCF) events for diesel generators. The events were der...
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...
Common-cause failure (CCF) events can significantly affect the availability of nuclear power plant safety systems. In recognition of this, CCF data is systematically collected and analysed in several...
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...
Joint NEA-IAEA meeting on electrical power systems, 2‑5 December 2019
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...
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...
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...
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.
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 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...
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...
