[ RadSafe ] FRENCH FUKUSHIMA RESPONSE - HARD CORE CONCEPT

[Bevelresou at aol.com]

Hello:
 
As a means to preclude beyond design basis events on fission reactor  
safety, the French (ASN) reports a proposal to augment the  conventional 
defense-in-depth philosophy.  The hard core concept is  dimensioned to withstand 
hazards of a higher intensity that those considered in  the existing baseline 
safety standards.  The hard core concept is being  considered for 
implementation in France and is part of their Fukushima Daiichi  response.
 
Details of the new French concept are available at:
