FIT FOR PURPOSE ENGINEERING – SUITABLE FOR USE SAFETY CASE
Geraint
Williams, ONR Principal Inspector – Nuclear Safety, Office for Nuclear Regulation
·
Should we talk about “fit
for purpose safety cases” or about “fit for purpose engineering” – and the
role of the safety case in justifying this?
·
What guidance / help is out
there?
·
Is there alignment between
the industry, the engineering community and the regulator?

CLAIMS, ARGUMENTS AND EVIDENCE: A WINDSCALE CASE STUDY
Colin
Micklethwaite, Senior Safety Consultant, National Nuclear Laboratories
·
We have a new requirement to import material for a
customer that’s the wrong shape and size to use routine well engineered
import routes
·
Only existing route available is mothballed, parts have
never been used and has safety significant shortfalls hanging over it
·
The use of claims – arguments - evidence to select the
appropriate means to address the shortfalls

ENSURING ROBUST NATIONAL NUCLEAR SAFETY SYSTEMS
Mark Wilkes, Lead Safety Engineer, Amec Foster
Wheeler
· This presentation is an introduction to a recent document published by the IAEA related to ensuring that national nuclear safety systems are robust.
· The IAEA document (INSAG-27 issued in 2017) has evolved from the lessons learned following the Fukushima Daiichi incident and looks at the role we all play in nuclear safety.
· The presentation introduces the concept of ‘Institutional Strength in Depth’ and identifies where we as individuals or in our organisations (and institutions) fit in this concept.
