N2 - Major part of Finnish public research on nuclear power
plant safety during the years 2007-2010 has been carried
out in the SAFIR2010 programme. The steering group of
SAFIR2010 consisted of representatives from Radiation and
Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), Ministry of Employment
and the Economy (MEE), Technical Research Centre of
Finland (VTT), Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO), Fortum Power
and Heat Oyj, Fortum Nuclear Services Oy (Fortum),
Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation
(Tekes), Aalto University School of Science and
Technology (Aalto, former Helsinki University of
Technology) and Lappeenranta University of Technology
(LUT). In addition to representatives of these
organisations, the Steering Group had permanent experts
from the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and
Fennovoima Oy (Fennovoima).
SAFIR2010 research programme was divided in eight
research areas that were 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 were chosen on the
basis of annual call for proposals. The annual volume of
the SAFIR2010-programme in 2007-2010 has been 6,5-7,1 M
and approximately 50 person years. Main funding
organisations in 2007-2010 have been the State Waste
Management Fund VYR with 2,7-3,0 M and VTT with 2,4-2,7
M annually. In 2010 research was carried out in 33
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, Aalto University
(previously Helsinki University of Technology), Tampere
University of Technology, Fortum Power and Heat Oy
(previously 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 consisted 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 entire programme with
emphasis on the results achieved during the years
2009-2010. The results obtained during the years
2007-2008 have been reported in detail in the Interim
Seminar Report.
