The use of PSA techniques in regulatory and safety work in Sweden

Creators

  • 1. Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate, Stockholm (Sweden)

Description

The Swedish utilities have thus far performed probabilistic safety assessments (PSAs) on 10 of the 12 Swedish nuclear power plants. For the older plants PSAs were performed as part of the regular recurrent safety analysis program, the so-called ASAR program (As operated Safety Analysis Report). For the two newest plants (Forsmark 3 and Oskarshamn 3) the PSAs were required for permission to operate. For the remaining units (Ringhals 3 and 4) the PSA work is ongoing and will be finished during 1990. All PSAs, performed by the utilities, are reviewed by the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate. The paper presents the general situation in Sweden regarding the role of PSAs in practice as viewed from a regulatory standpoint
