Description

Emergency action levels (EAL) are established to classify and announce emergencies, and to take proper action in case of a plant emergency. Logical structure of the current EALs of Korean operating NPPs are so complicated that it is difficult to judge whether the plant condition meets the emergency criteria. This led to the delay of the announcement of an emergency when a steam generator tube ruptured at the Ulchin NPP. From this point of view, Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS) recommended that EALs be connected with Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP), which the operators concentrate on in the emergency situation. In this study, current EALs and EOPs are reviewed in detail to find a connection when an EAL meets the entry conditions of a specific EOP
