The availability of German nuclear power plants in an international comparison

  • 1. Rheinisch-Westfaelisches Elektrizitaetswerk A.G., Essen (F.R. Germany)

Description

The availability of German nuclear power stations is discussed in comparison with European and American light-water nuclear power stations. Furthermore, the availability or utilization is shown as a function of the year of operation and of the unit size (the latter only for the USA), and the trends observed during the last 4 years are made evident. The unscheduled shutdowns of light-water nuclear power stations during the past 4 years are analysed on the basis of publications of the IAEA in Vienna and the ABE-Committees of the German Atomforum with special emphasis on the affected systems. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Verfuegbarkeit deutscher Kernkraftwerke wird im Vergleich mit europaeischen und amerikanischen Leichtwasser-Kernkraftwerken diskutiert. Ferner wird die Verfuegbarkeit bzw. Ausnutzung in Abhaengigkeit vom Betriebsjahr und von der Blockgroesse (letzteres nur fuer die USA) sowie der zeitliche Trend in den Jahren 1970-1974 dargestellt. Anhand der Veroeffentlichungen der Internationalen Atomenergiebehoerde (IAEA) in Wien und des ABE-Ausschusses des Deutschen Atomforums werden die ungeplanten Stillstaende von Leichtwasser-Kernkraftwerken in den vergangenen 4 Jahren analysiert. Die hauptsaechlich betroffenen Systeme werden herausgestellt. (orig.)
