  • Fissures in the KKM Core Shroud: ENSI’s Previous Assessment is Confirmed

    The core shroud in the Mühleberg nuclear power plant (KKM) will continue to perform its function without additional measures. New measurements of the fissures in two of the weld seams on the core shroud confirm ENSI’s previous assessment, and prove that the fissures do not penetrate the walls, and do not run all the way…

    KKM: Possible Blockage of the Special Emergency System Water Intake in case of Extreme Flooding (as at: 07.10.2011)

    As a measure following on from the reactor accident at Fukushima, Japan, ENSI ruled on 1 April 2011 that the Swiss nuclear power plant operators must furnish proof of their ability to control a very unlikely extreme flood, and must do so by the end of June 2011.

    Swiss nuclear power plants will cope with flooding

    All of Switzerland’s nuclear power plants will cope with an extreme flood of the sort that may occur on average once every 10,000 years, in addition to their ability to cope with other hazards. Even if the external power supply fails at the same time as the flood occurs, the plants can be brought into…

    KKL: Weld Seam Leak on Small-Bore Pipe of the High Pressure Core Spray (CS) System (as at: 13.04.2011)

    During a function test on the high pressure core spray (CS) system, a thin jet of water was detected. This jet emerged from a weld seam on a small-bore pipe leading to a safety valve. The function test was interrupted, and the affected section of the small-bore pipe was replaced within the permissible time for…
