The development of the common French-German safety approach for future PWRs started in 1992. The general approach was issued in May 1993. It was accomplished on three working levels: the technical safety organizations GRS (Gesellschaft for Anlagen- und Reaktorsicherheit) and IPSN (Institut de Protection et de Surete Nucleaire) developed the technical basis, advisory groups GPR (Groupe Permanent charge des Reacteurs Nucleaires) and RSK (Reaktorsicherheitskom-mission) 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. It contains safety objectives and general principles. The common approach has been presented at the ARS`94 Conference. Some important objectives and principles are briefly summarized in this paper, and the results of this work are described. 4 refs.
