Implementation of Severe Accident Management Measures - Workshop Proceedings - 10-13 September 2001

The reason for the meeting was that the CSNI felt it timely to “follow-up” on the past activities in the area of severe accident management implementation and to take stock of the progress made since the Rome Meeting on Severe Accident Management Programme Development held in September 1991 [CSNI reports NEA/CSNI/R(1991)16 and (1992)6], the Niantic Specialist Meeting on Severe Accident Management Implementation held in June 1995 [NEA/CSNI/R(1995)5 and 16], and the Winnipeg Workshop on the Implementation of Hydrogen Mitigation Techniques held in May 1996 [NEA/CSNI/R(1996)8 and 9].

The objectives of the meeting were:

1. to exchange information on activities in the area of SAM implementation and on the rationale for such actions,
2. to monitor progress made,
3. to identify cases of agreement or disagreement,
4. to discuss future orientations of work,
5. to make recommendations to the CSNI.
