Abstract

After Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident, the improvement of nuclear safety is highly requested in order to prevent re-occurrence of severe accident. New scheme of fatigue evaluation to confirm system safety in NPPs is enhanced to be established based on Defense in Depth concept. This study focuses on the direction to reconstruct Grand Design of fatigue evaluation to ensure system safety based on fatigue failure analysis of Japanese NPPs. The issues of fatigue evaluation we have now is investigated in order to review Grand Design on the basis of new role of fatigue management in plant long term safe operating scheme that is required after Fukushima daiichi NPP accident.
