Control of power dependent safety margins

  • 1. Kernkraftwerk Leibstadt AG, Leibstadt (Switzerland)

Description

The Leibstadt Plant KKL, situated on the river Rhein in Switzerland, is a BWR-6, Mark III, GE-Plant with a BBC turbogenerator set with a net electrical output of 990 MW. In December 1973, the work contract was signed and in December 1984 KKL started the commercial operation. The construction period was influenced by the TMI-incident in 1979. The incident prompted a very tedious design review by the authorities, vendor, and KKL. The PRA-studies were part of the design review. (author). 1 ref., 7 figs, 1 tab
