Some solutions to prevent load disengagement from cranes were evaluated. Several factors, including protective efficiency and disadvantages at work, must be taken into account when the solutions are evaluated.

A review of some commonly used strategies for accident prevention illustrates some discrepancies between different approaches and the need to develop more comprehensive strategies. Some aspects of strategies and solutions in accident prevention.Īccident prevention measures are traditionally classified into technical, organizational and behavioral solutions. The relationship of these research activities to other projects is discussed, as well as planning for future changes in the direction of work to be undertaken


This paper will stress the overall safety issues related to the research and emphasize the strategies that are applicable to major safety issues. The evaluation of these strategies was divided between PNL and Brookhaven National Laboratory and a similar paper will be presented by Brookhaven regarding their strategy evaluation. Working with Brookhaven National Laboratory, PNL evaluated a series of NRC suggested accident management strategies. This paper will describe work performed to date by Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) and Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI) relative to severe accident strategy evaluation, as well as work to be performed and expected results. Objectives of the NRC Severe Accident Management Program are to assure that technically sound strategies are identified and guidance to implement these strategies is provided to utilities. Following an initiating event, accident management strategies include measures to (1) prevent core damage, (2) arrest the core damage if it begins and retain the core inside the vessel, (3) maintain containment integrity if the vessel is breached, and (4) minimize offsite releases. Accident management includes certain preparatory and recovery measures that can be taken by the plant operating and technical personnel to prevent or mitigate the consequences of a severe accident. The NRC is planning to establish regulatory oversight on severe accident management capability in the US nuclear reactor industry.
