The World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO), the world’s leading safety organisation for commercial nuclear power plants, is encouraging its members to build on the good progress they have made on safety since Fukushima, by further developing the leadership skills of key staff.
In 2011, WANO identified 12 key post-Fukushima projects to implement in more than 460 commercial power plants worldwide to enhance safety. Many recommended improvements were complex and challenging, and required a significant investment of time and resources to roll out and complete.
WANO and its members successfully delivered projects focused on the following 12 areas; emergency preparedness, emergency support plan, severe accident management, early event notification, onsite fuel storage, design safety fundamentals, peer review frequency and equivalency, corporate peer reviews, WANO assessment, transparency and visibility and WANO internal assessment.
