Investigation of organizational structures of nuclear power plants and their cooperation with superordinate organizational structures. Phase 2

This study gives an overview about the interaction of the German nuclear power industry and other (superior) organisations like supervising agencies, expert organisations and other nuclear power plants, nuclear power plant owners or their associations. The interactions of nuclear power plants with other organisations is partly regulated by law. This is particularly true for the interaction between the nuclear power plants and the supervising agencies respectively the expert organisations. Among one another, the interaction of nuclear power plants is mainly carried out as a voluntary exchange of experience. The task of the study is to analyse the complex patterns of interactions among nuclear power plants and other organisations in detail and to demonstrate the trends of further improvements. Thus, the study does demonstrate the different kinds of interaction between nuclear power plants among another, between nuclear power plants and their supervising agencies and between nuclear power plants and expert organisations. These interactions are evaluated with regard to the existing regulation. (orig.)
