Development of Nuclear Safety Issues Program

Since the first commercial nuclear power plant, Shippingport in USA, started to operate in 1957, a lot of safety issues which should be resolved to minimize the potential for accident/incident occurrence at operating nuclear power plants worldwide have been identified. Thus, to identify and resolve the safety issues for the nuclear reactors under design, construction or operation timely and effectively, it is required to establish and implement a systematic integrated nuclear safety issue management system. This paper presents the nuclear safety issues program developed by KINS recently, which deals with the proposal, identification, resolution and management of the nuclear safety issues
