Slide 6: WANO Similar Conclusions
Similar Conclusions Utilities are not only responsible for their own fleets, but also collectively responsible for continuous improvement worldwide WANO WANO is a voluntary & non-profitable organisation All commercial NPPs in the world are WANO Members6
Slide 7: WANO Mission
To maximise the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants worldwide by working together to assess, benchmark and improve performance through mutual support, exchange of information, and emulation of best practices. 4* WANO MISSION
Slide 8: Public Opinion
Public Opinion Our industry has not yet completely recovered from Chernobyl In many parts of the world, public opinion is changing favourably One single accident can tip this over again for many years 8

Slide 10: How can Nuclear Operators learn from Operating Experiences of other stations?
How can Nuclear Operators learn from Operating Experiences of other stations? 10
Slide 11: Operating Experience (OE)
Operating Experience (OE) OE Programme bears a major role to fulfill WANO’s Mission to maximise the safety and reliability of nuclear power operation OE Programme enables members to learn from the operating experience of other plants to prevent recurrence of similar events WANO member has dual r
Slide 12: Recurrent or Similar Events
Recurrent or Similar Events Events that happen in plants are recurrent events There is no new event Many of the events could have been prevented if event reports of its station and other stations were read and countermeasures were taken 12
Slide 13: OE Products
OE Products Event Reports: WANO Members report to WANO • EAR (Event Analysis Report) ・・・Within 20 weeks • ENR (Event Notification Report) ・・・Within 4 weeks • MER (Miscellaneous Event Report) • The reporting criteria of EAR/ENR are listed in OE Reference Manual • MER: Any information other members ma
Slide 14: How can Nuclear Operators identify 'weakness' of the station?
How can Nuclear Operators identify ‘weakness’ of the station? 14
Slide 15: Peer Review
Peer Review The Peer Review Programme continues to be key WANO activity In 2009, 20 peer reviews, 2 pre-startup peer reviews and 19 follow-up visits were conducted All 400 plants in the world completed receiving the first round WANO Peer Review in 2005 Members continue to express positive fe
Slide 16: What is WANO Peer Review?
What is WANO Peer Review? An international team of experts (called peers) dispatched from WANO members visits a NPP The review team through observations of actual site activities and interviews with plant staff, identifies the ‘Strengths’ and the ‘Areas for Improvement’ (AFI) and produces a repo
Slide 17: Significant Areas for Improvement commonly identified with Peer Review
Significant Areas for Improvement commonly identified with Peer Review Organisational Effectiveness Conduct of Operations Self-Assessment and Corrective Action Fire protection Human Performance 17
Slide 18: Organization Effectiveness
Organization Effectiveness Higher standards of performance needs to be established, communicated, or reinforced especially in the area of: Human performance Industrial safety Conduct of operations Conduct of maintenance Equipment performance 18
Slide 19: Conduct of Operations
Conduct of Operations Weakness in use of operating procedures Equipment deficiencies challenge operations Operation procedure deficiencies Reactivity management standards and controls not in line with industry standards and best practices 19
Slide 20: Self-Assessment and Corrective Action
Self-Assessment and Corrective Action Undesirable conditions not effectively collected, trended, and analysed for continuous performance improvement Gaps between the standards/expectations and practices not systematically measured and analysed 20
Slide 21: Fire protection
Fire protection Improper storage of combustible materials that could result a fire incident 21
Slide 22: Human Performance
Human Performance Lack of systematic approach to human error prevention and use of tools 22
Slide 23: Corporate Review
Corporate Review Safety inside a plant is strongly influenced by corporate culture Corporate review looks at the interaction between corporate level and plant level ¾How corporate sets vision, goals, policies ¾How corporate provides resources ¾How corporate exercises oversight 23
Slide 24: Pre-Startup Peer Review
Pre-Startup Peer Review To achieve safe and reliable operation of a Near- term Operating License (NTOL) plant, WANO conducts a Pre-startup Peer Review to identify AFIs on the plant operation and readiness to operate a plant in a safe and reliable manner Ideally conducted 2 months before fuel loa
Slide 25: Professional & Technical Development
Professional & Technical Development Workshops, Seminars and Training To provide a forum for plant staff to increase their professional knowledge and skills. To enable members from all the regions to compare their operations and emulate best practice, leading to improved operational performance.
Slide 26: How can Nuclear Operators improve their performance?
How can Nuclear Operators improve their performance? 26
Slide 27: Good Practice & Guideline
Good Practice & Guideline Good Practices are identified: Presented by members ‘Strengths’ from Peer Reviews Found in presentations at seminar/workshop 27
Slide 28: WANO Guideline
WANO Guideline Describes key programme elements for management of selected activities in NPP Do not specify minimum requirements Provide guidance to achieve excellence by combining and documenting the best expertise in industry Developed to assist members in meeting WANO Performance Objectives
Slide 29: Exchange Visit
Exchange Visit A team of one station staff visits other station to directly share information The visit provides an opportunity for staff to observe different approaches to their business, which enables them to reconsider their own practice It is effective to raise specific areas or themes of
Slide 30: Performance Indicators (PI)
Performance Indicators (PI) WANO developed a set of PIs All plants must report quarterly data on 11 indicators PIs were intended for use as a management tool To monitor their own performance and progress To set their goals for improvement Use of PIs will encourage emulation of the best industr
Slide 31: Technical Support Mission (TSM)
Technical Support Mission (TSM) Small team of experts, usually multi-national Visit to help a plant to solve a defined problem or weak area Example topics: - Human performance - Self assessment - Scram reduction - Outage management WANO conducted worldwide 163 in 2009 WANO Tokyo Centre con

Slide 34: Working Together in WANO
Working Together in WANO To enhance nuclear safety and reliability, WANO members have dual responsibilities: Individual responsibility to improve its own plant Collective responsibility to help assist other plants One big accident will fail the nuclear power ’We are hostages of each other’ 34
