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).
