Experts Mission to Review the OPAL Preliminary Safety Analysis Report
The International Peer Review of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) prepared for the Replacement Research Reactor (RRR) to be built in Lucas Heights, Australia, was organised by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The main references for the review are the IAEA safety standards related to research reactor safety as well as a selected number of standards related to nuclear power plant site and design safety. Of the latter use was made of the following:
- Safety Series No. 50-SG-D15, Seismic Design and Qualification for Nuclear Power Plants (1992)
- Safety Series No. 50-SG-S5, External Man-induced Events in relation to Nuclear Power Plant Siting (1981)
- Safety Series No. 50-SG-S1 (Rev. 1), Earthquakes and Associated Topics in relation to Nuclear Power Plants Siting(1991)
