Description
There are 17 units currently operating in India: 2 BWRs and 15 PHWRs. In addition, there are six units under construction: three PHWRs (220 MW(e) each); two WWERs (1000 MW(e) each); and one Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (500 MW(e)). The total installed capacity includes 4120 MW(e) in operation and 3120 MW(e) under construction. Safety reviews are performed in India during the course of the NPP's normal service life. Inspections extend to periodic performance reports, event reports, safety related engineering modifications, planned maintenance outages, radiological safety performance, radioactive waste disposal history and practice evolution, and the outcome of regulatory inspections. The safety review process applied in India for operating NPP units is shown. The regulatory body in India, AERB, appoints a safety review committee for operating plants (SARCOP) made up of expert groups and a unit specific review committee. The expert groups include reactor physics specialists, reactor chemistry specialists, instrumentation and control experts, coolant channel safety experts, equipment qualification experts and ageing management experts
