Safety Analysis Reports


Nuclear power plant operators, i.e. licensees, are expected to maintain updated safety analysis reports on how the plant is designed, operated, and maintained. Initially, a Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) must be filed with the regulatory agency. The agency reviews the information, asks questions, and may specify changes in the plant design or additional requirements. After the plant receives its operating license, the report is often referred to as the Final (or Updated) Safety Analysis Report.

Updated copies of these reports are maintained in the local public document center, usually a public library near the plant. In the United States, the safety analyses reports are reviewed using NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, as a guide. NUREG-0800 identifies the requirements that the NRC expects the power plant operator to comply with.

No Nukes Asia Forum Japan has graciously provided the Lungmen Power Plant Units 1 and 2 Preliminary Safety Analysis Report on their website. The Table of Contents links below lead to the various chapters of the report that are available. This report is typical of the information that a utility is expected to provide to the regulatory agency. In this specific case, the Taiwan nuclear laws require compliance with the same US Nuclear Regulatory Commission standards as US plants must meet.

The table of contents below provides additional information unavailable on the linked site. Total volume of the PSAR is about 87 MB and includes hundreds of drawings and tables. Practically all the documents are PDF files that can be read using Adobe Acrobat. In a few cases, the documents are DOC files that can be read using Microsoft Word. The DOC type documents are identified in the table of contents (e.g. Chapter 11).
