NUCLEAR ENERGY AGENCY The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) was established on 1st February 1958 under the name of the OEEC European Nuclear Energy Agency. It received its present designation on 20th April 1972, when Japan became its first non-European full member. NEA membership today consists of 28 OECD member countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Republic of Korea, the Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Commission of the European Communities also takes part in the work of the Agency. The mission of the NEA is: to assist its member countries in maintaining and further developing, through international co-operation, the scientific, technological and legal bases required for a safe, environmentally friendly and economical use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, as well as to provide authoritative assessments and to forge common understandings on key issues, as input to government decisions on nuclear energy policy and to broader OECD policy analyses in areas such as energy and sustainable development. Specific areas of competence of the NEA include safety and regulation of nuclear activities, radioactive waste management, radiological protection, nuclear science, economic and technical analyses of the nuclear fuel cycle, nuclear law and liability, and public information. The NEA Data Bank provides nuclear data and computer program services for participating countries. In these and related tasks, the NEA works in close collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, with which it has a Co-operation Agreement, as well as with other international organisations in the nuclear field. © OECD 2005 No reproduction, copy, transmission or translation of this publication may be made without written permission.

FOREWORD The Information System on Occupational Exposure (ISOE) was created in 1992 to provide a forum for radiation protection experts from both operating organisations and national regulatory authorities to discuss, promote and co-ordinate international co-operative undertakings in the area of worker protection at nuclear power plants. The ISOE System is promoted and sponsored by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which provide a Joint Secretariat for the programme. Since 1997, ISOE has developed a programme of annual workshops and symposia for radiation protection professionals from all types of nuclear power plants. Attendees also include contractors and regulatory staff. The workshops and symposia are held alternatively in North America and in Europe. The European workshops are co-organised by the European Technical Centre and the European Commission, which provides a substantial financial contribution. The IAEA supports the workshops and symposia by providing financial help for participants from countries participating in ISOE through the IAEA and also for participants from target countries of two IAEA Technical Co-operation Projects aimed at enhancing occupational radiation protection in nuclear power plants. These workshops and symposia have given hundreds of professionals an opportunity to listen to oral presentations (about 30 in each workshop), exchange information, share ideas and learn from others. The workshops’ concept, with contributions from and for the radiation protection professionals, has proven to be very effective. The discussions on selected topics in small groups in Europe and the practical ALARA training sessions in North America have contributed to the success of the programme. The 2004 International ALARA Symposium was held from the 24-26 March 2004 in Lyon, France. The symposium with the theme “Occupational Exposure Management in Nuclear Power Plants” was organised by the European Technical Centre in order to provide a global forum to promote the exchange of ideas and management approaches to maintaining occupational radiation exposures “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA). The symposium was sponsored by the European Technical Centre (ETC), the OECD/NEA and the IAEA. The workshop enjoyed several varied oral and poster presentations. The success of this Workshop is largely due to the important organisational support from the Électricité de France. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword ........................................................................................................................................ 3 SESSION I...................................................................................................................................... 7 K.

The objective is to be able to plan the maintenance better by following the condition of the equipment. The risk matrix can be used to choose which component to be maintained. The risk matrix is improved by adding a dimension, the uncertainty of the probability. The risk can be reduced along any dimension: better measurements, preventive maintenance or more redundancy. The number of dimensions can be reduced to two by following iso-risk lines calculated for the beta distribution. This thesis lists twenty surveys about circuit breakers and disconnectors, with statistics about the failures and the lifetime. It also presents about forty condition- measuring methods for circuit breakers and disconnectors, mostly applicable to the electric contacts and the mechanical parts. A method for scheduling thermography based on analysis of variance of the current is tried.

  • Swedish Nuclear Power Policy
    The Research Project Energy Opinion in Sweden Department of Political Science University of Gothenburg Per Hedberg Sören Holmberg April 2008 Swedish Nuclear Power Policy A Compilation of Public Record Material History Nuclear Power “In Sweden, nuclear technology started in 1947, when AB Atomenergi was constituted to carry out a development programme decided by the Parliament. As a result, the first research reactor went critical in 1954. This was followed by the first prototype nuclear power plant (PHWR) Ågesta located to a rock cavern in a suburb of Stockholm. The Ågesta reactor was mainly used for district heating and operated from 1964 until 1974, when it was permanently shut down. The first commercial nuclear power plant Oskarshamn 1 was commissioned in 1972 and was followed by another eleven units sited at Barsebäck, Oskarshamn Ringhals and Forsmark in the time period up to 1985. The twelve commercial reactors constructed in Sweden comprise 9 BWRs (ASEA-ATOM design) and 3 PWRs (Westinghouse design). As a result of political decisions, the twin BWR units Barsebäck 1 and 2 were finally shut down in 1999 and 2005 respectively. In 2004, Studsvik Nuclear decided to permanently shut down the two research reactors (R2 and R2–0) at the Studsvik site. They were closed in June 2005. The decision was taken on economical grounds, the licences had recently been extended until 2014, subject to certain conditions. The reactors were mainly used for commercial materials testing purposes, isotope production, neutron source for research purposes, medical applications and higher education. They are currently under decommissioning.” (From DS 2007:30:11-12) “Nuclear policy was the major domestic policy issue during the mid and late1970s.

  • Greenwashing Vs. Renewable Energy Generation
    Greenwashing Vs. Renewable energy generation: which energy companies are making a real difference? Tackling the climate crisis requires that we reduce the UK’s carbon footprint. As individuals an important way we can do this is to reduce our energy use. This reduces our carbon footprints. We can also make sure: • All the electricity we use is generated renewably in the UK. • The energy company we give our money to only deals in renewable electricity. • That the company we are with actively supports the development of new additional renewable generation in the UK. 37% of UK electricity now comes from renewable energy, with onshore and offshore wind generation rising by 7% and 20% respectively since 2018. However, we don’t just need to decarbonise 100% of our electricity. If we use electricity for heating and transport, we will need to generate much more electricity – and the less we use, the less we will need to generate. REGOs/GoOs – used to greenwash. This is how it works: • If an energy generator (say a wind or solar farm) generates one megawatt hour of electricity they get a REGO (Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin). • REGOs are mostly sold separately to the actual energy generated and are extremely cheap – about £1.50 for a typical household’s annual energy use. • This means an energy company can buy a megawatt of non-renewable energy, buy a REGO for one megawatt of renewable energy (which was actually bought by some other company), and then claim their supply is renewable even though they have not supported renewable generation in any way.
