摘要

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulates the nuclear industry in the United Kingdom via its Nuclear Installations Inspectorate (NII). NII oversees a wide range of nuclear sites including Magnox power stations, Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor power stations, a Pressurised Water Reactor and the Sellafield site (over 100 assorted plants). These sites have a wide diversity of structural integrity issues. HSE's and therefore NII's approach to regulation is one of goal setting rather than prescription. All of the licensed sites have a licence with 36 standard conditions. NII's goal setting intent allows each licensee to develop compliance arrangements which best suit their business so that whilst the conditions are the same for each licence the detailed arrangements for meeting these conditions vary from licensee to licensee. HSE has produced a set of Safety Assessment Principles (SAPs) which have been published. SAPs are used by NII to establish whether a safety case is adequate. Publishing the SAPs provides transparency to the licensees so that they know what NII expects from them. The SAPs also help to provide a consistent approach from Nil's inspectors. The SAPs cover all the relevant topic areas for nuclear regulation including structural integrity. Unlike the approach used by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission the SAPs do not specify that certain codes or methods must be used. Instead the SAPs provide targets that need to be met by a nuclear safety case. For structural integrity cases these targets vary depending on the contribution that a structure, system or component makes to nuclear safety. For items such as reactor pressure vessels where the vessel is the principal means of ensuring safety a Special Case procedure is followed. Although NII does not demand that specific assessment methods are used it still has to be convinced that a licensee has an adequate safety case. NII therefore challenges new safety cases and methodologies as they are presented. The extent of the challenge will depend on the difference in the current case and methodologies compared to those that have been previously assessed.
