  9. Regulatory requirements:Structure of YVL Guides

  10. Regulatory requirements: Guide YVL A.1 Regulatory oversight of safety in the use of nuclear energy 430. Operationalevents at a nuclearfacilitymayconsist of single transientsorobservations as well as recurringor common causefailures, humanerrors and omissions. Based of the reportsprovidedby the operating organisation and itsownobservations made duringinspections, STUK mayappoint an investigationteam as appropriate to assess a specificevent. The specificduty of such a team is to determine the rootcauses of the event and defineobjectives for correctivemeasures.

  11. Regulatory requirements: Guide YVL A.3 Management system for a nuclear facility Management of human and organisationalfactors 319. The interactionbetweenman, technology, and organisationaffectssafety. Systematicmethodsshallbeincorporated in the management system in order to identify and managehuman and organisationalfactorsaffectingsafety. 320. Human and organisationalfactorsshallbehandledtogether with technicalmatters. 321. The personnel´sindividualcompetenceshallbedeveloped as regads the identification and management of humanfactors and potentialerrors.

  12. Regulatory requirements: Guide YVL A.3 Management system for a nuclear facility Developing and managing the processes of the management system 603. Written instructions shall be provided for process-related procedures and the manner of carrying out the activities. The possibility of human error in work performances shall be taken into account when defining the processes and the activities contained in them. The processes shall be planned so as to identify and disclose potential errors as early in the process as possible.

  13. Regulatory requirements: Guide YVL A.4 Organisation and personnel of nuclear facility 303. The licenseeshalldemonstratethat the organisation of the nuclearfacilitywillensure the safe, reliable and appropriateoperation of the facilityunderallconditions[…] The structure and ways of working of the organisationshallcontribute to the management of humanerrors.

  14. Regulatory requirements: Guide YVL A.6 Conduct of operations at a nuclear power plant 418. Whenplanning the tasks of the shiftteams, careshallbetaken to ensurethat the workload, participation in training, and the humanfactorsrelated to the duration of the shifts, shiftrotation, and restperiodsdonotaffect the teams´ability to performsafety-relatedwork. 717. The procedures and guidelinesshallbesystematicallyvalidated and verified. Validationshalladdress the role of humanfactors in the procedures. The validation of the procedures and guidelinesshallbebased on simulationsorothersuitablemethods, primarilybyusing a trainingsimulator.

  15. Regulatory requirements: Guide YVL A.7 Probabilistic risk assessment and risk management of a nuclear power plant 401. In the PRA, the followingshallbeanalysed as initiatingevents: the plant´sinternalfailures, disturbances and humanerrors […] as well as externalfactorscausedbyhumanactivities. 403. The PRA shallutilise operating experience feedback collectedfromsimilarplantsorcorrespondingapplications. The licenseeshallmaintain a database of the reliability of safety-relatedcomponents as well as initatingevents and humanerrors.

  16. Regulatory requirements: Guide YVL A.10 Operating experience feedback of a nuclear facility 602. The licensee shall carry out a generic investigation of multiple events when similarities can be seen with regard to their underlying technical causes, organisational or human factors, or other recurrence problems.

  17. Regulatory requirements: Guide YVL B.1 Safety design of a nuclear power plant 1/2 461. The presentation of the infromationneeded for performingmaintenancework – as well as the relatedinstructions and the toolsused – shallbedesigned with the objective of preventinghumanerrorduringsystemmaintenance. Dueattentionshallalsobepaid to the physicalworkenvironment and the accessibility of components. 5302. Dueconsiderationshallbegiven to humanfactors and organisationalcircumstancesrightfrom the outsetwhenplansareprepared for controlroomoperationsorchangesaffecting the control room.

  18. Regulatory requirements: Guide YVL B.1 Safety design of a nuclear power plant 2/2 FinalSafety Analysis Report 618. The followinginformationconcerning the overallplant design shallbeprovided: […] 5. A description of how the followingsafetyissueshavebeentaken into account in the overallplant design of the safety-classifiedsystems: […] f. the principlesrelated to the avoidance of humanerrors

  21. Oversight Process Requirement letter Management meeting with licensee Oversight findings Analysis and decision on action Follow up and evaluation of effects Independent evaluation Investigation

  22. STUK´s oversight activities • Inspection activities on site and off-site • e.g. Periodic inspection programme • Observation and surveillance of licensee performance at the site • Review and assessment of documents • Operating experience, reporting • Oversight of the implementation of projects, modifications, outages • Interactions with the licensee (meetings, audits, training…) • Collecting oversight findings in HAKE-database (Polarion) • External independent evaluations to support STUK oversight activities

  23. About HAKE Database • The use of HAKE aims at integrating different observations from licensee organization and operations in a systemic way • Process management • Communication • Handling of Non Conformances and incidents • Management and leadership • Quality Management • Resource planning and competences • Project management • Automation • Waste management • Chemistry • Operations • Commissioning • Mechanics • Construction • Risk management • Electricity • Radiaton protection • Data security • Security and physical protection • Emergency • Nuclear safety and process systems • Organization
