Operating Experience with Containment Buildings at Nuclear Power Plants
A summary report from the European Clearinghouse
This report summarizes the results of a review of available recent international operating experience on events related to containment buildings, which have been reported by nuclear power plants (NPP). Event reports, retrieved from the IAEA IRS (Incident Reporting System) and the US NRC LER (Licenses Events Reports) databases, are characterised and used to derive insights and lessons learned. These lessons learned cover topics such as maintenance deficiencies, design issues, deficiencies in documents/procedures, effectiveness of the inspection and monitoring programmes, management and communication issues and safety culture.
