2. 1. Safety Reviews of Technical System Modifications in the Nuclear Industry

   Author : Thomas Falk; Sven-Ove Hansson; Teemu Reiman; KTH; []
   Keywords : safety; safety review; nuclear; nuclear power plant; process; process improvement; action research; experience feedback;

   Abstract : The function of safety reviews (here understood as expert judgements on proposals for design modifications and redesign of technical systems in commercial Nuclear Power Plants, supported by formalised safety review processes) plays a fundamental role for safety in nuclear installations. The primary aims of the presented case studies includes: critically examining and identifying the main areas for improvement of the existing technical safety review process as it is conducted at a Swedish nuclear power plant, developing a new process, and evaluating whether any improvements were accomplished.

4. 2. Studies of safety and critical work situations in nuclear power plants : a human factors perspective

   Author : Lena Kecklund; Erik Hollnagel; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Safety; nuclear power; operators; work-related factors; performance; human error; annual outage; MTO; Psychology; Psykologi; psykologi; Psychology;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to develop and apply different approaches for analyzing safety in critical work situations in real work settings in nuclear power plants, and also to identify safety enhancing measures by using the framework of interaction between human, organizational and technical subsystems (MTO, man-technology-organization). A Cognitive Psychology as well as a Stress Psychology framework was used. READ MORE

5. 3. Work Practice, Safety and Heedfulness : Studies of Organizational Reliability in Hospitals and Nuclear Power Plants

   Author : Vincent Gauthereau; Karlene H. Roberts; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : The study of safety in complex systems has focused on different issues over the past decades. This focus was often linked to the conclusions of previous accidents' / incidents' analyses. When accidents were attributed to technical causes, safety research focused on technical developments.

6. 4. Streams, Steams, and Steels : A Transnational History of Risk Regulation in Nuclear Power Plants (1850–1985)

   Author : Siegfried Evens; Per Högselius; Kati Lindström; Anna Storm; Scott Knowles; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Nuclear; risk; water; steam; steel; regulation; safety; Nucléaire; risque; eau; vapeur; acier; sûreté; réglementation; Kärnkraft; risk; vatten; ånga; stål; säkerhet; History of Science; Technology and Environment; Historiska studier av teknik; vetenskap och miljö;

   Abstract : Water is essential to produce nuclear energy and prevent nuclear disasters. As light water reactors are increasingly seen as a solution to achieving a sustainable energy transition and battling the climate crisis, it is more important than ever to investigate the risks of using water for nuclear power production.

7. 5. On-Line Monitoring Applications in Nuclear Power Plants

   Author : Hashem Mehrdad Hashemian; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; calibration monitoring; noise analysis; instrumentation and control; sensing line blockages; Nuclear power plants; sensor response time testing; reactor diagnostics; next generation reactors; applied research;

   Abstract : As the current generation of nuclear power plants have passed their mid-life, increased monitoring of their health is critical to their safe operation. This is especially true now that license renewal of nuclear power plants has accelerated, allowing some plants to operate up to 60 years or more. READ MORE
