Development of Computerized Severe Accident Management Guidelines of AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant

Nuclear Power is considered to be one of the solutions to fulfil the increasing need of clean energy in China. Making use of this clean energy can help reduce the consumption of fossil energy, which could enhance the surrounding areas by preventing the environment from harmful air pollution. However, the consequence of severe accident of nuclear power is unbearable, such as Chernobyl and Fukushima Accidents. So as to improve the safety of nuclear power, the severe accident shall be managed in case to reduce the negative impacts to the environment and people health. This paper introduces the Severe Accident Management and Emergency Response System (SAMERS), which aims to help the operators and technicians deal with the severe accidents. Especially, the development of Computerized Severe Accident Management Guidelines (CSAMG) is described in detail, which is a module of SAMERS. CSAMG is based on the AP1000 severe accident management guidelines, which could enhance the operator performance during severe accident.
