Description

In this paper we give a concise overview over the history and present status of nuclear power in Germany. The changes in the regulatory framework and corresponding requirements, standards, recommendations etc. due to the Fukushima Daiichi accident, with respect to the robustness of the electric power supply of German nuclear power plants, are being described. On the example of a typical German Pressurized Water Reactor the concept of defence in depth in protecting the plant's electric power supply and the modifications to it due to the events in Chernobyl and Fukushima are shown.
