  • Gamma radiation level measurements around the site of COVRA N.V. at Borsele with the MONET network in 2019
    'Journal of Wildlife Management', 2020
    Co-Authors: Cp Tanzi
    Abstract:

    Het gammastralingsniveau aan de terreingrens van de Centrale Organisatie voor Radioactief Afval (COVRA N.V.) te Borsele lag in 2019 onder het toegestane maximum van 40 microsievert per jaar. De hoogste vastgestelde dosis is 3,0 microsievert. Dit blijkt uit controlemetingen van het RIVM. Het RIVM rapporteert jaarlijks in opdracht van de Autoriteit Nucleaire Veiligheid en Stralingsbescherming (ANVS) en toetst of COVRA N.V. aan de vergunningseis voldoet. COVRA N.V. moet ervoor zorgen dat personen buiten de terreingrens aan maximaal 40 microsievert per jaar worden blootgesteld. Dat is in de kernenergiewetvergunning bepaald. Om de maximale effectieve dosis te berekenen wordt het gammastralingsniveau op twaalf locaties langs de terreingrens gemeten. Dit gebeurt met het MONET-meetnet, dat in beheer is van het RIVM. Van de metingen wordt vervolgens de hoeveelheid die van nature voorkomt afgetrokken (natuurlijke achtergrondwaarde). De resulterende meetwaarde wordt gecorrigeerd met de zogeheten Actuele Blootstellings Correctiefactor (ABC-factor). Een ABC-factor hangt samen met de bestemming van het gebied waar de effectieve gammastralingsdosis kan worden opgelopen. Na het gebruik van de ABC-factor is de berekende maximale effectieve gammadosis 3,0 microsievert per jaar. Dit is ruim onder de maximaal toegestane jaarlijkse limiet. In dit rapport zijn de daggemiddelden van de metingen van de twaalf MONET-monitoren aan de terreingrens van COVRA N.V. in 2019 weergegeven. Ook wordt uitgelegd hoe voor elk meetpunt de natuurlijke achtergrondwaarde is bepaald.In 2019, the radiation level caused by gamma radiation at the site boundary of COVRA N.V., the Central Organisation for Radioactive Waste, was below the maximum permitted level of 40 microsievert per year. The maximum annual gamma dose is 3.0 microsievert. This is the level found by the analysis of measurements carried out by RIVM. RIVM is tasked by the Authority of Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (ANVS) to report annually on whether COVRA N.V. meets the criterion specified in its Operating License. COVRA N.V. is required to ensure that the maximum effective dose received by persons outside the site boundary of COVRA N.V. does not exceed 40 microsievert annually, as specified in its Operating License. In order to determine the maximum effective dose, gamma radiation is measured at twelve locations along the site boundary. The measurements are carried out within the framework of the MONET monitoring network, which falls under the administrative management of the RIVM. The measurements are analysed by subtracting the natural background value. The resulting measurement data are corrected using the Actuele Blootstelling Correctiefactor (or ABC factor, meaning actual exposure correction factor). An ABC factor takes into account the specific use of the area where exposure to the gamma dose may occur. This translates into a maximum effective dose of 3.0 microsievert per year, which is far below the maximum permitted annual gamma dose. This report provides the daily averages of the radiation dose recorded by the MONET monitors at the boundary of the COVRA N.V. site in 2019, and explains how the background level at each measuring location was determined.ANV

  • Radiation level measurements around the site of Borssele nuclear power plant in 2019
    'Journal of Wildlife Management', 2020
    Co-Authors: Cp Tanzi
    Abstract:

    Het gammastralingsniveau aan de terreingrens van kerncentrale Borssele lag in 2019 onder het toegestane maximum van 10 microsievert per jaar. De hoogste vastgestelde dosis is 1,5 microsievert. Dit blijkt uit controlemetingen van het RIVM. Het RIVM rapporteert jaarlijks in opdracht van de Autoriteit Nucleaire Veiligheid en Stralingsbescherming (ANVS) of de kerncentrale aan de vergunningseis voldoet. De kerncentrale moet ervoor zorgen dat de blootstelling van personen buiten de terreingrens maximaal 10 microsievert per jaar is. Dat is in de revisie van de kernenergiewetvergunning van 2016 vastgelegd. Om de maximale effectieve dosis te berekenen wordt op de terreingrens het gammastralingsniveau gemeten. Dit gebeurt met het door het RIVM beheerde MONET-meetnet. Van de meting wordt vervolgens de natuurlijke achtergrondwaarde afgetrokken. De resulterende meetwaarde wordt gecorrigeerd met de zogeheten Actuele Blootstelling Correctiefactor (ABC-factor). Een ABC-factor hangt samen met de bestemming van het gebied waar de effectieve stralingsdosis kan worden opgelopen. Rond het terrein van kerncentrale Borssele is de bestemming uitsluitend industriële doeleinden en daarvoor geldt een ABC-factor van 0,2. Na de toepassing van deze ABCfactor is de berekende maximale effectieve dosis 1,5 microsievert per jaar. In 2019 is met acht monitoren op de terreingrens het gammastralingsniveau continu gemeten. In dit rapport zijn de daggemiddelden van de metingen van de MONET-monitoren rond de kerncentrale in 2019 weergegeven. Ook wordt uitgelegd hoe voor elk meetpunt de natuurlijke achtergrondwaarde is bepaald.In 2019, the radiation level caused by gamma radiation at the site boundary of the Borssele nuclear power plant was below the maximum permitted level of 10 microsievert per year.

  • a study on fire protection in nuclear power plants and application of the code and standards for fire protection systems
    Journal of Korean Institute of Fire Science and Engineering, 2012
    Co-Authors: Weekyong Kim, Keesi Jeong
    Abstract:

    The purpose of fire protection for the nuclear power plants (NPPs) is to ensure safe shutdown state of the reactor, to minimize the release of radioactive materials to the environment, to provide physical safety of the on-site personnel, and to limit the property damage. Fire protection and extinguishing equipments are one of the important protection measures based on the defense-in-depth concept, which can promptly detect and control and extinguish those fires that do occur, thereby limiting fire damage. However, a separate evaluation process might be additionally necessary for the construction permit and Operating License because the fire protection laws of the NEMA for installation standards of the fire protection systems is not fully characterized for the NPPs. It is also not easy to implement the regulations such as the performance based design concept for fire protection system of the NPPs which are characterized for a relatively low density of employee. This study suggests a guideline for the improvement of the technical standards for fire protection systems of the NPPs by evaluating the fundamental problems drawn by reviewing laws and regulatory guides relevant to fire protection and by evaluating the applicability of the KEPIC FPN in domestic nuclear power plants.

  • technical letter report evaluation and analysis of a few international periodic safety review summary reports
    2013
    Co-Authors: O K Chopra, Dwight Diercks, D C, Yogendra S Garud
    Abstract:

    At the request of the United States (U.S.) government, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) assembled a team of 20 senior safety experts to review the regulatory framework for the safety of Operating nuclear power plants in the United States. This review focused on the effectiveness of the regulatory functions implemented by the NRC and on its commitment to nuclear safety and continuous improvement. One suggestion resulting from that review was that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) incorporate lessons learned from periodic safety reviews (PSRs) performed in other countries as an input to the NRC’s assessment processes. In the U.S., commercial nuclear power plants (NPPs) are granted an initial 40-year Operating License, which may be renewed for additional 20-year periods, subject to complying with regulatory requirements. The NRC has established a framework through its inspection, and operational experience processes to ensure the safe operation of Licensed nuclear facilities on an ongoing basis. In contrast, most other countries do not impose a specific time limit on the Operating Licenses for NPPs, they instead require that the utility Operating the plant perform PSRs, typically at approximately 10-year intervals, to assure continued safe operation until the next assessment. The staff contracted with Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) to perform a pilot review of selected translated PSR assessment reports and related documentation from foreign nuclear regulatory authorities to identify any potential new regulatory insights regarding License renewal-related topics and NPP Operating experience (OpE). A total of 14 PSR assessment documents from 9 countries were reviewed. For all of the countries except France, individual reports were provided for each of the plants reviewed. In the case of France, three reports were provided that reviewed the performance assessment of thirty-four 900-MWe reactors of similar design commissioned between 1978 and 1988. All of the reports reviewed were the regulator’s assessment of the PSR findings rather than the original PSR report, and all but one were English translations from the original language. In these reviews, it was found that most of the countries base their regulatory guidance to some extent (and often to a large extent) on U.S. design codes and standards, NRC regulatory guidance, and U.S. industry guidance. In addition, many of the observed operational technical issues and OpE events reported for U.S. reactors are also cited in the PSR reports. The PSR reports also identified a number of potential technical material/component performance issues and OpE events that are not commonly reported for U.S. plants.
