The convention on nuclear safety’s<\/a> aim is to “legally commit participating States operating land-based nuclear power plants to maintain a high level of safety by setting international benchmarks to which States would subscribe<\/em>“.

At 238 pages long it is not an inviting read but it is, nonetheless, quite interesting and provides a good overview of nuclear safety in the UK including a review of the regulations and the operations of the regulators.<\/p>\n

An interesting quote (paragraph 16.23) is “Whilst REPPIR does not prescribe a specific probability to what is reasonably foreseeable, events with a frequency of 1×10(-5)<\/span> to 10(-6)<\/span> <\/em>per year are considered, with any cliff edge effects from events of lesser probability also being considered<\/em>“. ONR usually reframes from accepting any numerical value for “reasonably foreseeable”. This value puts\u00a0it\u00a0below the probability of any events listed in the\u00a0National Risk Register<\/a>\u00a0which may surprise some people.<\/span><\/p>\n
