Topical operating experience report on events related to supply chain

cover
Volume I: Main report - Framework Service Contract 939770
Topical studies are a major product of the European Clearinghouse providing in-depth assessment of safety significant events and generic safety issues. This is the second report on the topic of Supply Chain. Prior, in 2011 JRC published a report related to the supply of NPP components. That report had a different scope. It considered in-depth assessment of event reports in the IRS (OECD NEA/IAEA), NRC (US), IRSN (France) and GRS (Germany) databases during period 1980 - 2010. It (the previous report) covered events at NPPs which were directly or partially caused by in-adequate spare parts, products or components supplied by suppliers/vendors during the period of operation of the NPPs. In the current study (this document) relevant events, which occurred during the 2011-2022 time period, were identified and analysed. The re-sults of this in-depth analysis of events from different countries with different types of nuclear reactors should enable the nuclear safety authorities of the EU Clearinghouse Member States to apply the general findings to their respective nuclear installations. In total 22 high-level lessons learned have been derived from the selected events. These are discussed and grouped according to the predominant cause they are tack-ling. Thus, a structured set of generic lessons learned are provided, which may be uti-lised by regulatory bodies.
