WINO iii. Research to further develop the knowledge base for emergencies in foreign nuclear power plants

This report describes the further development and any further additions to the knowledge base for emergencies in foreign nuclear power plants (WINO) carried out in project 4718R01520 'Fortlaufende Optimierung der zentralen Wissensbasis für Notfälle in ausländischen Kernkraftwerken (WINO)'. The knowledge base was designed and created in projects 3613R01521 and 4715R01520. The objective of WINO is to provide a systematic compilation and presentation of all information relevant for the tasks of the GRS emergency team in emergency situations in a practicable and accessible form. Regarding foreign plants, the projects 3613R01521 and 4715R01520 investigated which technical parameters and documents of a nuclear power plant are required for an assessment of the situation in an emergency situation and how emergency-relevant information on nuclear power plants can be presented in a knowledge base. Technical parameters have already been determined for European, Ukrainian and, to some extent, Russian plants. For some derivative accident-relevant parameters, estimation methods have already been developed in Excel. Within the framework of the collection of technical parameters of plants for the WINO knowledge base, so far the following approach had been applied: sets of technical parameters for plants located closer to the German borders were researched with priority. Therefore, the evaluation of available information sources in the previous WINO projects was limited to European plants and Russian plants located closer to the German borders. Within the framework of this project, parameters for other Russian plants not yet considered within the previous projects were researched and included into the WINO knowledge base. The list of technical parameters compiled and expanded in the previous projects was used for this purpose. Applying a graduated approach, it was decided for more distant plants to research not plant-specific but construction series-specific technical parameters. Within the scope of this project, technical parameters for American and Canadian plants were researched on a series-specific basis and corresponding technical parameter data sets were created in the knowledge base and populated with the determined data. In the search mask of the knowledge base, an option was added to search specifically for these construction series data sets.
