Insights regarding human actions and methods in individual plant examinations
On November 23, 1988, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Generic Letter 88-20 requesting all licensees to perform an individual plant examination (IPE) for severe accident vulnerabilities and to submit their findings, results, and conclusions to the NRC. The general purpose of the IPE is for licensees to possess a solid knowledge regarding the potential for severe accidents at their plant and their associated behavior and thereby implement any necessary modifications to reduce their likelihood. As part of this effort, the NRC, therefore, expects the licensees to examine and understand their plant emergency operating procedures (EOPs), operations, and maintenance and surveillance activities.
