Description
Following the Fukushima accident, all nuclear and sensitive facilities have had to address new requirements. One of the most challenging issues is ensuring that all facilities can withstand earthquake intensities previously unimaginable.
Like power plants, the ILL is required to ensure that all safety equipment can withstand an “SND” earthquake with an intensity twice that of the region’s most powerful earthquake in the past 1,000 years.
Numerous backup systems and reinforcements have been implemented since then, and the latest safety systems are currently being modified to bring the facility into compliance with the new safety standards.
I am in charge of the latest work on the casemates and will attempt to give a presentation highlighting the challenges of bringing an old facility into compliance with the latest regulatory requirements.
