The nuclear industry is now initiating a serious effort to define the elements of an accident management program at each utility with an operating reactor, which is a significant change in conditions from those in 1985, when the work of Di Salvo et al. was published. Each utility is now conducting an individual plant examination (IPE) to uncover plant ...
