Description
ATWS as an incident exposed by the feedback from nuclear power plant operating experience, the recognition of it by the nuclear industry has gone through a long process. The requirements for ATWS treatment and method for ATWS analysis were completely developed for nuclear power plants. For the requirement and analysis of ATWS, it is different between nuclear power plant and high power research reactor due to different structure and characteristics. The evolution of the ATWS in nuclear power plant was reviewed in the paper, based on which the standard specification for LWR was studied. For high power research reactor, the general requirements for ATWS analysis are put forward, which facilitates the implementation of safety analysis for related reactor type. (authors)
