The Role of INIS in Collecting and Preserving Major Nuclear Accident‘s Literature

36th Consultative Meeting of INIS Liaison Officers4-5 October 2012, Vienna-Austria

Shuji TAKAGI

INIS Liaison Officer of JapanDirector, Intellectual Resources Department,

・ How does INIS help us remedy the Fukushima accident in Japan?・ What information and how should we collect and preserve with regard to Fukushima accident?・ What should INIS do to collect and preserve lessons from nuclear severe accidents more effectively?

　 As one of effective measures, we suggest the preservation of information from internet in addition to the present INIS collection activities. ・ But how? 　 We have started to archive information regarding Fukushima accident from internet for preserving and reusing. ・ Problems are how to memorize the internet information, how to classify those and how to attach tags to them to retrieve it afterward, and so on.

Summary

JAEA Central library at Tokai was damaged by the Great Earthquake in March, 2011. After the Fukushima Accident happened, a lot of requests for references to remedy Fukushima have been made to JAEA library. To meet the requests, we set up a portal website to provide the reference information on the JAEA Library website.

The reactor core is damaged and the released fission products contaminated the reactor building and the secondary buildings. The radiation dose on the TMI-2 … personnel is about 4694 man-rem, from 1979 to 1987. The main steps of the accident and the TMI-2 decontamination actions are described.

A knowledge based severe accident handbook for PWRby Lowenhielm, G.; Henriksson, M.; Folkesson, L.E.; Lasson, N.A.; Wahlstrom, Ch. (Vattenfall-Ringhals AB, Technical Support Units 3 and 4, Varobacka (Sweden))Read MoreCollapse

During the last decade the level of knowledge about severe accident phenomena has increased dramatically. The improved understanding has been achieved by extensive research but also from feed-back of experience from actual … incidents/accidents such as Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. In Sweden, mitigating measures such as filtered venting and external water source were implemented at all nuclear power plants by 1988. In parallel the Emergency Operating Procedures (at Ringhals called Emergency Response Guidelines, ERG, and Beyond ERG, BERG) were developed to include these new features. However, the accident management system has since then been further improved and one important aspect is the long-term accident management. The new information obtained has been one of the basis for a new knowledge based handbook to support the unit leader and the Technical Support Center. The handbook contains information concerning specific issues in the BERG and advice how the organization can manage a long-term severe accident situationSubjectSPECIFIC NUCLEAR REACTORS AND ASSOCIATED PLANTS (S21)Source/ReportOrganisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development - Nuclear Energy Agency, Committee on the safety of nuclear installations - OECD/NEA/CSNI, Le Seine Saint-Germain, 12 boulevard des Iles, F-92130 Issy-les-Moulineaux (France), Proceedings of the specialist meeting on selected containment severe accident management strategies, 358 p, ISSN 1104-1374, Jul 1995, p. 45-55, Specialist meeting on selected containment severe accident management strategies, Stockholm (Sweden), 13-15 Jun 1994, NEA-CSNI-R--1995-3, 2 refs.Record TypeReportCountry/Org.Nuclear Energy Agency of the OECD (NEA)DECACCIDENTS, DEVELOPED COUNTRIES, DOCUMENT TYPES, ENGINEERING, ENRICHED URANIUM REACTORS, EUROPE, MANAGEMENT, NUCLEAR FACILITIES, OPERATION, PERSONNEL, POWER PLANTS, POWER REACTORS, REACTORS, SAFETY, SCANDINAVIA, THERMAL POWER PLANTS, THERMAL REACTORS, WATER COOLED REACTORS, WATER MODERATED REACTORS, WESTERN EUROPEDEIACCIDENT MANAGEMENT, CONTAINMENT, EMERGENCY PLANS, KNOWLEDGE BASE, MANUALS, NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS, PWR TYPE REACTORS, RADIATION PROTECTION, REACTOR ACCIDENTS, REACTOR OPERATION, REACTOR OPERATORS, REACTOR SAFETY, RECOMMENDATIONS, SAFETY ENGINEERING, SWEDENLanguageEnglishRef.

The role of INIS to collect and preserve literature from severe accidents

14

To remedy the effects of the Fukushima Accident on site and off site the NPPs, we have obtained large amount of helpful literature through INIS for evaluating the radiation dose rate of human body, foods, etc. for managing huge amount of radioactive wastes in variety of forms, for decontaminating and decommissioning the facilities highly contaminated by radioactive materials, and so on. The INIS has been the most reliable, comprehensive, easy way to learn the experiences of others in the nuclear technology. However, still not enough. Regarding the Fukushima Accident, huge amount of reliable information is available on internet.

How should we collect huge amount of reliable and useful information from internet and make it available through INIS?

The role of INIS to collect and disseminate nuclear accident Information;Reliable, comprehensive, helpful, stable information is required. Promptness or immediateness is not necessarily required in the INIS, but in an other communication system in the case of emergency.Within the present INIS system, comprehensive information is not easy to collect. International community like

IAEA and each Government should push the concerned organizations provide crucial information and grant the licenses to memorize and disseminate such information through INIS as stable information.

Reliable and helpful information should be selected by each national centers of INIS.

In order to collect and preserve comprehensive information regarding Fukushima Accident and to utilize it anytime afterward, we started to develop so-called ‘Fukushima Archives’.To keep it comprehensive, we cooperate with National Diet Library of Japan (NDLJP) which is aouthorised to collect comprehensive information from the websites of all the national and public organizations but the ones of private companies.

We should never experience such a serious accident as of Fukushima NPS.

We should learn how to prevent serious accident through INIS before we learn what is helpful for remedying the effects ofaccidents. Nur ein Idiot glaubt, aus den eigenen Erfahrungen zu lernen. Ich ziehe es vor, aus den Erfahrungen anderer zu lernen, um von

vorneherein eigene Fehler zu vermeiden.

Fools say they learn from experience; I prefer to learn from the experience of

others to avoid my own failure. - Otto von Bismarck -

In the field of nuclear science and technology, We should learn from experiences of others through INIS. INIS should have its own archives to preserve crucial

information collected from internet by member states and organizations. 20

Thank you.
