The Fukushima Accident: A Station Blackout and the Consequences

  • 1. Institute of Resource Ecology Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (Germany)

Description

Lessons learned from Fukushima: • Underestimation of the role of the natural hazards • Insufficient protection of the emergency power and service water systems • Protection of fuel assembly storage pools insufficient • Safety review for Station Blackout and seismic evaluation needed • Diverse power supply systems, diverse sources for water delivery • Role of passive safety systems, they must work in a real passive manner and without electricity to open valves • Backup systems for reactor parameters monitoring • Revision of Severe Accident Management Guidelines and countermeasures for specific "rare" events • Early/late phase operators' actions / Effectiveness of the operators' actions
