概要
The total system design on Nuclear Plant ensures “Nuclear safety” with making practically achievable efforts to prevent and mitigate nuclear and radiological accidents. The performance based system design with “Defence in depth (D-I-D)” has been laid out as the key means in “preventing accidents”, “controlling escalation to serious consequences”, and “preventing harmful consequences to the public”. D-I-D is extended to the management of severe accidents, and is an approach intended to provide protection against the development of a wide variety of events by means of redundant, diverse and independent protective barriers. It is crucial to maintain plant integrity with mass quantity of radioactive material present in reactor core, against potential consequences (risk) on people and the environment caused by external hazards, particularly, earthquake and tsunami. The fundamental approach on D-I-D is to address uncertainties by means of successive measures, so that if one measure fails, other, or subsequent measure will be available to ensure safety. Risk analysis should be conducted to validate and enhance reliability of the defence barriers against consequences on people and the environment.
