INTEGRATION
OF SAFETY AND SECURITY: FOR OUR SINS
Jeremy
Edwards, Technical Manager, Nuclear Security, CBRN and Resilience, National
Nuclear Laboratory
Simon
Marsh, Safety and Security, National Nuclear Laboratory
·
The introduction of Security Assessment Principles
(SyAPs) and the parallels to nuclear safety
·
The collaborative approach using security and safety
sepecialists to co-author Nuclear Site Security Plans
·
Highlight some of the similarities, and differences
(and therefore challenges) between safety and security, but the value of a
joint approach and benefit of new capability development from both a
technical and a personal development perspective

USING
STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY ANALYSIS IN NUCLEAR SAFETY CASES
Peter
Reed, Senior Structural Integrity Engineer, Rolls-Royce

ROBOTICS
IN RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTS: AN EXAMPLE FROM THE EUROPEAN SPALLATION SOURCE
Adrian
Van Arkel, Mechanical Design Engineer, UKAEA
·
Overview of the ESS facility and the Active Cells
·
Overview of the RHS and its operation
·
Discussion around adding onerous safety to already
complex robotic systems is not easy, and we’ve found a way to avoid it
·
Discussion around the principal of the safety case;
maintain and protect the active cells boundary. Crane collapse is acceptable in certain
events
· Discuss the example
of the CTH, where we isolate the cranes in certain scenarios to protect it
