Guide on Seismic Hazards"
- (No.
SSG-9 )
The Specific Safety Guide NO.
SSG-9 “Seismic Hazards in Site
Evaluation for Nuclear Installations”
has been published by IAEA in October
2010. It provides recommendations and
guidance on evaluating seismic hazards
at a nuclear installation site and, in
particular, on how to determine:
(a)
the vibratory ground motion hazards, in
order to establish the design basis
ground motions and other relevant
parameters for both new and existing
nuclear installations;
(b)
the potential for fault displacement and
the rate of fault displacement that
could affect the feasibility of the site
or the safe operation of the
installation at that site.
ITER-Consul
has contributed to the preparation of
the guide.

"Draft Safety
Guide DS 424 "
-
-
The
objective of this Safety
Infrastructure Guide (Draft
DS424) is to provide guidance
on the establishment of a
nuclear safety infrastructure,
when embarking on a nuclear
program, in accordance with the
IAEA safety standards.
It
proposes a road-map of 200
safety-related actions to be taken from
the beginning of development of the
infrastructure up to commissioning of
the NPP
The
Safety Guide is structured in accordance
with the IAEA safety standards and
comprises 20 chapters, each of which
being linked to IAEA safety requirements
with identification of the phase in
which the requirement should be
implemented and corresponding IAEA
Safety Standard.

"Seismic
Safety of Nuclear Power Plants "
-
OUTCOMES
-
-
An International Technical Meeting
with focus on ‘’Seismic Safety of
Nuclear Power Plants’’ has been held
in Tivoli (Italy) on March 25-26,
2010 with the objective to exchange
views and discuss the topic of
seismic safety of NPPs based on
international in-progress studies,
research activity, lessons learned
from experience, current design and
regulatory practices.
-
It was organized by ITER-Consult,
CIRTEN, ENEA, ‘’La Sapienza’’ and
AIN with the support of IAEA and
under the auspices of the Ministry
of Economical Development of Italy.
The participating organization
included IAEA, ISPRA, ITER, ENEA,
Ansaldo, Areva, JNES, IRSN, CIRTEN,
‘’La Sapienza’’.
-
The presentations and the
discussion covered the following
topics: seismic hazard and site
specificity, seismic design approach
and methodology, design margins,
seismic safety requirements and
regulatory guidance, lessons learned
from the experience.
-
It was recognized that significant
steps forward have been made in the
last years on each of the topics in
terms of advanced technical and
scientific knowledge, new
achievements and new approaches. The
discussion gave the opportunity to
consolidate some relevant outcomes.

"National Nuclear Infrastructure and Institutional Capacity"
- INTRODUCTORY NOTES
The book is referred to the course carried out in the frame of
the initiative taken by the Italian presidency of the G8 Nuclear
Safety and Security Group (NSSG) to promote an effective
cooperation among institutions, academic communities and
organizations in order to strengthen the Education & Training
and the sharing of best practices for a safe and secure
development of a nuclear programme.Undertaking a nuclear power
programme is a major commitment requiring, among others, to
fully and adequately address the issue of ensuring nuclear Safety,
Security and Safeguards (3Ss) which are
prerequisite for a high level of nuclear safety. The focus of
the course is the development of institutional infrastructure:
the legal and regulatory framework, the definition of roles and
the establishment of appropriate regulatory role, functions and
responsibilities. The course is organized under the auspices of:
the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Italian Presidency
of G8, the EU, the IAEA and the University of Palermo. After an
introductory basis, the requirements associated to the process
of developing nuclear infrastructure, including lessons learned
from experience, are presented and discussed. The aim is to
provide the attendees with a comprehensive view of the key
aspects of the process to develop national nuclear
infrastructure, to familiarize with requirements for
establishing the legal and regulatory framework in compliance
with international legal instruments and get an insight into the
regulatory role, function and capability.
