Light-water reactors reference system classification for the European Reliability Data System (ERDS)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5377171

The reference system classification represents a basic stage in the organization of the European Reliability Data System (ERDS) for light-water reactors, a project under development at the Joint Research Centre, Ispra. The project is concerned with operational reliability data collection from the various 'national' data banks, and centralization in a European reliability data system, so improving the significance of the resulting reliability evaluations. Within the framework of the ERDS project, the reference system classification provides an LWR functional break-down and represents a plant-unique identification in the process of homogenization of event-data coming from the various 'national' organizations. After a brief description of the main objectives of the ERDS project, the criteria followed in the development of the reference system classification are reviewed and the detailed classification is presented.
