Description
A systematic review of the CANDU 3 design has been completed. This process identified 84 abnormal initiating events for the purpose of probabilistic safety assessment and consequence analysis. The review was based on a process which is methodical and auditable. Such a review provides confidence that licensing and risk assessment of the design are well founded. The overall accident assessment program for the CANDU 3 has been established. Accident analysis for each of the initiating events will be carried out to demonstrate that the public is adequately protected from the consequences of these events. 1 ref., 1 fig., 2 tabs
