3 1. Responses to Fukushima Accident (1) uspecial Inspections by Regulatory Body (~ May 2011) Inspection teams organized by regulatory inspectors and external experts 21 operating nuclear power plants and 1 research reactors uobjectives of the Special Inspections Design and operation measures against natural Mitigation capability against severe accident Effectiveness of emergency response system uenforcement order to implement 50 action items identified by the inspection To minimize the impact of extreme natural hazards disasters (e.g., Automatic Reactor Trip System in earthquake) To make emergency power and ultimate heat sink available (e.g., Mobile Generator) To prevent and mitigate severe accidents (e.g., Water Injection Systems to primary/secondary systems) 3

4 1. Responses to Fukushima Accident (2) unuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC) reviewed the effectiveness and the status of Fukushima Action Items (March 2014) ubased on the review results, NSSC issued supplemental administrative order for the licensees to implement additional 3 action items (March 2014) : Additional Action Items Improving the emergency response measures against man-made disasters as well as natural disasters Operating an dedicated emergency response organization for severe accident management Securing emergency response center(facility) to protect emergency workers and to secure equipment for command and control 4

5 1. Responses to Fukushima Accident (3) unssc decided to require Stress Tests for old plants (April 2013) Objectives Evaluation of coping capability against large scale natural disasters that beyond design basis (Appendix III for details) Scope Wolsong Unit 1 and Kori Unit 1 (more than 30 years of operation) unssc decided to expand the scope of Stress Tests to include all operating NPPs (September 2015) Phase 1 Perform Stress Tests for a few selected NPPs that can represent various designs of all operating NPPs Phase 2 Prioritization of the rest of NPPs considering their plant-specific aspects in comparison with the results of Stress Tests for the representative NPPs Stress Tests for the rest of the NPPs focusing on the plant-specific aspects 5

6 2. Rulemaking on Accident Management Program (1) ubackground of the Amendment of NSA Previous regulatory activities on severe accidents were on the basis of administrative orders (Appendix II for details). After Fukushima accident, National Assembly decided that regulation on severe accident should have clear legal basis. uamendment of Nuclear Safety Act (2015) National Assembly amended the Nuclear Safety Act to clearly stipulate the regulatory control on severe accident. The amendment requires that Accident Management Program (including severe accident management) shall be submitted in the application of operating license of NPPs. The effective date of the amendment is 23 June, The amendment also requires that AMPs for existing (operating) reactors shall be submitted to NSSC within 3 years after the effective date. 6

7 2. Rulemaking on Accident Management Program (2) usubsequent rulemaking after the Amendment of NSA To support the amendment of NSA, subsequent rulemaking was done to amend the presidential decree, the prime ministry s decree and NSSC rules (June 2016). 7

40 Appendix II. Historical Background (1) utmi Accident (1979) The first severe accident of NPP in human history. US NRC ordered licensees to implement more than hundred Post- TMI action items after TMI accident to enhance safety of NPPs against severe accident (1980). ukorea s response after TMI accident Regulatory authority ordered the licensee to implement Post-TMI action items of US NRC (1983) Severe accident mitigation measures for new reactors were continuously strengthened, including hydrogen control after severe accident (~ 1990s). Probabilistic Safety Assessments (PSAs) for some operating reactors and all new reactors were performed. 40

41 Appendix II. Historical Background (2) usevere Accident Policy (SAP) (2001) establishes safety goals (quantitative health objectives), requires PSA for all operating and new reactors, requires design features for new reactors to prevent severe accident and, should it occur, to mitigate its consequence, and requires development and implementation of Severe Accident Management Program (SAMP) for all operating and new reactors. uimplementation of SAP by administrative orders PSAs for all reactors were completed and safety improvements identified by PSAs were implemented. SAMPs for all reactors were developed and in use. Design features for prevention and mitigation of severe accident are applied to the new reactors. 41
