Study on the Establishment of Technical Regulations for Secondary System of NPPs

The regulatory inspection authority had been split into two organizations until 2005, one was Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) the other was Ministry of Commerce Industry and Energy(MCIE). The regulatory inspection jurisdiction for secondary system of NPPs have been transferred to the MOST to strengthen and intense the regulatory inspection. Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety has performed the periodic regulatory inspection for secondary parts of NPPs on behalf of the MOST since 2005. This study presents how to establish the technical regulation and propose a draft technical regulation for secondary system of NPPs. KINS surveyed the codes and standard to be applied to secondary system of NPPs, surveyed domestic and foreign countries technical regulations and regulatory inspection framework and surveyed the thermal power plants technical regulation system. Finally, to adapt the draft revision of 'The Regulation on technical standards for nuclear reactor facilities, etc.' this study suggests attaining the consensus among the government, regulatory organization, licensee and other electric and generating plants licensees
