  1. Safety and Licensing Philosophy and Experience at Ontario Hydro Nuclear Generating Stations, by W. Lee, OPG, 1986-01-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: As published in the Canadian Nuclear Society Bulletin Vol. 7, No. 1, 1986 with the kind permission of the CNS: The safely and licensing philosophy adopted by Ontario Hydro in establishing the need for retrofit design modifications to CANDU nuclear generating stations in operation since the early 1970's is discussed. This philosophy was developed in response to regulatory requests to determine whether this need exists in view of the more extensive safely and licensing design features incorporated in recent CANDU nuclear generating stations compared to the earlier designs. These addition features generally reflect evolving safety knowledge and licensing requirements over time.

  2. Nuclear Journal of Canada, 1987 Vol 1 No. 2, by J.T. Rogers, CNS, 1987-06-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: The accident at the Chernobyl-4 RBMK reactor near Kiev in the USSR on 26 April 1986 is described. The characteristics of the RBMK reactors are compared to those of CANDU reactors. Certain insights on the assessment of severe accidents in CANDU reactors are drawn frurn the Chernobyl-4 accident. In particular. the importance of the design of the safety shutdown systems in CANDU is recognized. The most significant lesson from the Chernobyl-4 accident is that primary responsibility for the safety of a nuclear power plant must lie with the operating utility itself, and all managers and operators must be fully conscious of their responsibility for worker and public safety.

  3. Nuclear Journal of Canada, 1987 Vol 1 No. 3, by J.Q. Howieson and V.G. Snell, CNS, 1987-09-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: On 26 April 1986, the unit 4 reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in the Soviet Union suffered a severe accident which destroyed the reactor core. The reactor design, as it relates to the accident sequence, is reviewed in detail, using information presented in Soviet literature and at the International Atomic Energy Agency Post-Accident Review Meeting in August 1986.

  4. Nuclear Journal of Canada, 1987 Vol 1 No. 4, by L.L. Bennett, CNS, 1987-12-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: In light of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station, 1986 represents a critical year for nuclear power programmes. This paper reviews the nuclear power programmes in a number of countries, and gives an overview of the current status and future prospects of nuclear power for electricity generation in the world, with particular emphasis to developing countries. The paper also presents economic comparisons of nuclear and coal-fired stations, since the competitiveness of nuclear power is an important factor in nuclear power development.
