Development of Corrective Action Tracking System for the Operating Experience Feedback in Korea

Operating experience is a valuable source of information for learning about and improving the safety and reliability of nuclear installation(nuclear power plant, research reactor, nuclear fuel fabrication, and so on). It is essential to collect such information in a systematic way that conforms to the reporting criteria (reporting requirements) for events occurring at nuclear installations during commissioning, operation, surveillance and maintenance activities and decommissioning, and on deviations from normal performance by systems and by personnel, which could be precursors of events. Thus for the Operating Experience Feedback (OEF) program of Korea, especially occurring event in the nuclear power plant(NPP), KINS(Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety) have developed a Corrective Action Tracking System (CATS) that is a part of the OEF system
