N2 - Major part of Finnish public research on nuclear power
plant safety during the years 2007-2008 has been carried
out in the SAFIR2010 programme. The steering group of
SAFIR2010 consists of representatives from Radiation and
Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), Ministry of Employment
and the Economy (MEE), VTT Technical Research Centre of
Finland (VTT), Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO), Fortum Power
and Heat Oyj, Fortum Nuclear Services Oy (Fortum), Tekes
- the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and
Innovation (Tekes), Helsinki University of Technology
(TKK) and Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT). In
addition to representatives of these organisations, the
Steering Group has permanent experts from the Swedish
Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and Fennovoima Oy
(Fennovoima).
SAFIR2010 research programme is divided in eight research
areas that are Organisation and human, Automation and
control room, Fuel and reactor physics, Thermal
hydraulics, Severe accidents, Structural safety of
reactor circuit, Construction safety, and Probabilistic
Safety Analysis (PSA).
Research projects of the programme are chosen on the
basis of annual call for proposals. The annual volume of
the SAFIR2010-programme in 2007-2008 has been 6,3-6,7 M
and approximately 50 person years. Main funding
organisations in 2007-2008 were State Waste Management
Fund VYR with 2,7-3,0 M and VTT with 2,4-2,5 M
annually. In 2008 research was carried out in 30
projects.
The research in the programme has been carried out
primarily by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
Other research units responsible for the projects solely
or in co-operation with other institutions include
Lappeenranta University of Technology, Helsinki
University of Technology, Tampere University of
Technology, Fortum Nuclear Services Oy, Finnish Institute
of Occupational Health and Finnish Meteorological
Institute. In addition, there have been a few minor
subcontractors in some projects.
The programme management structure consists of the
steering group, a reference group in each of the eight
research areas and a number of ad hoc groups in the
various research areas.
This report gives a summary of the technical results of
the SAFIR2010 programme from the years 2007-2008.
