Pickering Nuclear Generating Station B Integrated Safety Review

Abstract

OPG is performing a feasibility study to determine if there is a sound business case for Pickering B Nuclear Generating Station (NGS) refurbishment. One component of the feasibility study is the execution of an Integrated Safety Review (ISR). The ISR is a comprehensive assessment of Pickering B NGS, including a comparison of existing OPG governance at the plant, with modern codes and standards for each of the review areas in accordance with “Periodic Safety Review of Nuclear Power Plants Safety Guide” published by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Additionally, the ISR will address factors of quality management, security and safeguards as identified by the CNSC in G-360 “Life Extension of Nuclear Power Plants” [1].
