1. 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.
