In 2014, the licensees complied with their statutory obligations to provide ENSI with reports and nuclear safety at all plants was rated as good. There were 38 reportable events in the Swiss nuclear power plants: During the year under review, there was one reactor scram, which occurred on 5 July 2014 at the Leibstadt nuclear power plant. On the international Event Scale…
In its 11th Annual Report on Radiological Protection, ENSI summarises and analyses the release of radioactive materials from Swiss nuclear facilities. All nuclear facilities complied with the limits in 2014 and in some cases by a very large margin.
In 2013, there were 34 reportable events in the Swiss nuclear power plants: During operation, there were no reactor scrams recorded. On the INES scale, ranging from 0–7, ENSI rated all reportable events in nuclear power plants in 2013 as Level 0. Download document is in German.
In its 10th Annual Report on Radiological Protection, ENSI summarises and analyses the release of radioactive materials from Swiss nuclear facilities. All nuclear facilities complied with the limits in 2013 and in some cases by a very large margin.
This Research and Experience Report describes and rates the findings of the regulatory research into safety, specific instructive events from nuclear facilities abroad, news regarding the international cooperation as well as current changes and developments in underlying surveillance principles in 2013.
In this 9th Annual Report, ENSI focusses on radiological protection in Swiss nuclear facilities. The average individual dose has changed little compared with previous years. At 0.7 mSv, it is significantly below the limit both for persons exposed to radiation during their work (20 mSv) and the annual average rate of exposure for the population…
There were no incidents in Swiss nuclear power plants in 2012 that could have had a detrimental effect on the safety of people and the environment. This is evident from an evaluation the results of over 400 inspections, both unannounced and announced, together with operating data and event notifications from plant operators. Download document…
This Research and Experience Report describes and rates the findings of the regulatory research into safety, specific instructive events from nuclear facilities abroad, news regarding the international cooperation as well as current changes and developments in underlying surveillance principles in 2012.
This Annual Report of ENSI deals solely with radiological protection in nuclear facilities in Switzerland: Section A covers both exposure rates for staff and individual job rates whereas Section B deals with releases from nuclear facilities and the monitoring of radioactivity in their immediate vicinity. Compared with previous years, there was little change in either…
