Risks relating to external hazards, either natural or man-made, have to be taken into consideration in the design of nuclear and other industrial facilities. These risks have to be studied to guarantee the availability and efficiency of safety functions which, e.g. in the case of power reactors, enable a safe shutdown, maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown state, ensure the residual heat removal...
The International Atomic Energy Agency has started a few years ago a project to enhance the existing framework for safety goals for nuclear installations and currently is finalizing a publication aimed to provide guidance for a more holistic approach to establishing and utilizing safety goals for nuclear installations. The intention was to develop a more consistent and holistic framework for safety...
Internal and external hazards analysis methods have been used recently to evaluate operating nuclear power plants (NPP) and to identify the resilience of NPP in case of hazards and potential needs for modification of plant systems and procedures as well as to support design of new plants The external hazards risk contribution has been modeled in many NPP PSA (at least for some external hazards) over...
