Existing Safety Features
• All Swiss NPPs have Special Emergency (SE) heat removal systems (KKL: SEHR / KKM: SUSAN) additional to the normal ECCS and heat removal systems
• These special emergency systems provide alternative cooling and decay-heat removal with autarky > 10h
• The systems are bunkered, designed to withstand APC, SSE, flooding as well as acts of sabotage
• The systems constitute an appropriate countermeasure to a severe natural event including long-term T-SBO
• All CH-NPP have Filtered Containment Depressurization (Venting) Systems with adequate retainment factors for I-131 and Cs-134/137

Post-Fukushima Safety Targets
Assure robustness to withstand and cope with any severe Swiss natural hazard
(10’000 yearly extreme weather, flooding, earthquake events or combinations)
Assure control of T-LOOP during minimum 72 h without loosing safe shutdown
condition
Assure additional SAM-hardware and necessary auxiliary material as well as
SAM staff preparedness (availability, level of training, procedures) so that
a BDB event (with T-SBO) can be controlled during minimum 72 h without
challenging safe shutdown condition
a BDB event - if safe shutdown is not possible - will be limited to the
lowest consequential level:
avoid major core damage
avoid RPV-damage
avoid H2-explosion
avoid major radiological releases to the environment
Assure safety of long-term fuel pool cooling

KKM plan: additional coolant injection and heat removal system (1)
Issue: all emergency coolant injection systems
presently located in the basement of the Reactor
Building (-11 m level)
Postulated BDB flooding of the RB basement would
incapacitate emergency coolant injection
Possible solution: installation of ALTERNATE
COOLANT INJECTION SYSTEM (ACIS)
ACIS capability equivalent to existing ALPS (low
pressure injection)
ACIS to be located at higher elevation

Parameter Goal Action
Igniters & PARS:
H2- concentration
during SA
Low H2-concentration even
under SBO condition
(passive protection)
No detoriation of FCVS
during venting!
1. Improve MELSIM higher nodalisation
2. Simulate spatial H2 distribution during
core melt accident (Containment &
FCVS)
3. Evaluate need for additional PARs
4. Install

KKL: plan for further SAM optimizations after Fukushima: long-term depressurization of the RPV DC-MOV-SRV

Most important requirements in a SA situation:
• External connection plugs for supply
with compressed air ( mobile compressor unit) to keep safety relief valves (SRV) permanent open
• External connection plugs for power supply for opening of solenoid valves with mobile SAMG Diesel generator (150kVA)
• Relevant modification: 2 additional,
diverse DC-motor operated safety relief valves (MOV-SRV) for stable «open position» to depressurize the RPV for extended time
