    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

  7. 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

  8. 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

    We are hostages of each other

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. Slide 14: How can Nuclear Operators identify 'weakness' of the station?

    How can Nuclear Operators identify ‘weakness’ of the station? 14

  15. 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

  16. 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

  17. 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

  18. 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

  19. 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

  20. 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

  21. Slide 21: Fire protection

    Fire protection „ Improper storage of combustible materials that could result a fire incident 21

  22. Slide 22: Human Performance

    Human Performance „ Lack of systematic approach to human error prevention and use of tools 22

  23. 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

  24. 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

  25. 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.

  26. Slide 26: How can Nuclear Operators improve their performance?

    How can Nuclear Operators improve their performance? 26

  27. 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

  28. 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

  29. 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

  30. 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

  31. 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

    WANO Biennial General Meeting „ Tenth Biennial General Meeting (BGM) was held in Delhi, India on 1-2 February 2010 „ About 400 member nuclear executives attended and committed to continue securing high performance to ensure the safety of operating plants and support the expanding nuclear industry „

  33. Slide 33: WANO Plant Managers' Conference

    WANO Plant Managers’ Conference „ Plant Managers attend from WANO members all over the world once every two years „ Third WANO Plant Managers’ Conference (PMC) is going to be held in Atlanta in June 2010 „ Theme: Global Leadership – Advancing Performance Improvement & Outage Safety „ WANO Tokyo Cent

  34. 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
