Project Details

Description

Companies operating in regulated areas are obliged to provide comprehensive and documented evidence for the safety of their products and applications. The aim of the SAUNA project is to develop integrated and multidisciplinary ways to build confidence in the safety of nuclear power plants and their systems. Within the general framework of Systems Engineering (SE), this goal is pursued by developing comprehensive and transparent safety demonstration practices. The results, intended to be used by the regulator, the utilities and by the system suppliers, cover co-use of diverse assessment methods, structured representation of the safety justification arguments and common working processes for system development and licensing. While scoping the
project primarily on plant operations, i.e. on instrumentation and control systems and their human users, the SAUNA team considers a power plant and organisations involved in its development, licensing and maintenance
as a sociotechnical system.
