The development of the common French-German safety approach started in 1992 after a preparatory phase of about 2 years. It was accomplished on three working levels: the technical safety organizations GRS (Gesellschaft fuer Anlagen- und Reaktorsicherheit) and IPSN (institute de Protection et de Surete Nucleaire) developed the technical basis, advisory groups GPR (Groupe Permanent charge des Reacteurs Nucleaires) and RSK (Reaktorsicherheitskommission) developed common recommendations, and the authorities BMU (Bundesministerium fuer Naturschutz, Umwelt und Reaktorsicherheit) and DSIN (Direction de la Surete des Installations Nucleaires) issued the common safety approach. The general common safety approach issued in May 1993 contains safety objectives, general principles and already some technical principles. Important objectives are to reduce the annual probability of core melt, to exclude large early releases and to mitigate low pressure core melt sequences so that the associated maximum conceivable release would necessitate only very limited protective measures in area and in time. Based on this general safety approach, more detailed recommendations have been developed in 1994. A selection of the detailed recommendations is presented in the full paper. These recommendations are applicable to the EPR project for which the basic design is now underway.
