Nuclear-Power-Safety Reporting System. Concept description. Vol. 2
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is evaluating the possibility of instituting a data-gathering system for identifying and quantifying the factors that contribute to the occurrence of significant safety problems involving humans in nuclear power plants. This report presents the results of a brief (6 months) study of the feasibility of developing a voluntary, nonpunitive Nuclear Power Safety Reporting System (NPSRS). Reports collected by the system would be used to create a data base for documenting, analyzing and assessing the significance of the incidents. Results of The Aerospace Corporation study are presented in two volumes. Volume I contains a summary of an assessment of the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS). This document, Volume II, provides a concept description for the NPSRS. Significant viewpoints of some members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, utility management, operational personnel, and the public are presented that must be considered in the development of a NPSRS. The operational aspects and requirements of the system are also outlined.
