Nuclear power plants - Control rooms - Requirements for emergency response facilities

This document presents the requirements for the on-site emergency response facilities (referred to hereinafter as the “ERF”) which are to be used in case of incidents or accidents occurring on the associated Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). The ERF consists of the Emergency Response Centre (ERC), the Technical Support Centre (TSC) and the Operational Support Centre (OSC), as shown in Figure 1. It establishes requirements for the ERF features and ERF I&C equipment to: • coordinate on-site operational efforts with respect to safety and radioprotection; • optimize the design in terms of environment control, lighting, power supplies and access control of the ERF; • enhance the identification and resolution of potential conflicts between the traditional operational means and emergency means (MCR/SCR and ERF, operating staff and emergency teams, operational procedures and emergency procedures); • aid the identification and the enhancement of the potential synergies between the traditional operational means and emergency means. This document is intended for application to new nuclear power plants whose conceptual design is initiated after the publication of this document, but it may also be used for designing and implementing ERF in existing nuclear power plants or in any other nuclear facility. Detailed equipment design is outside the scope of this document. This document does not define the situations (reactor plant conditions, hazards and magnitudes of hazards) leading to mobilisation of emergency response teams and activation / use of the ERF. These aspects are usually addressed in the NPP Emergency Plan. However, the need for consistency of the ERF design and operation with the NPP Emergency Plan is within scope.

REQUIREMENTS FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES
FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote

international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To

this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,

Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC

Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested

in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-

governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely

with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by

agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence

between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in

the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard IEC 62954 has been prepared by subcommittee 45A: Instrumentation,

control and electrical power systems of nuclear facilities, of IEC technical committee 45:

Nuclear instrumentation.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
a) Technical background, main issues and organisation of the Standard

The Fukushima-Daiichi accident has shown that extremely severe hazards can occur for

which a nuclear power plant has not been designed to resist. In such situations, the plant has

possibly to cope with one or several damaged reactors, and associated radioactive releases,

but also has to cope with the loss of a major part of the electrical sources, cooling functions

and I&C, possibly including the Main Control Room (MCR), as well as with difficulties in

accessing the site. Providing safe on-site facilities for managing such an emergency is hence

a major issue.

An international consensus has emerged to promote the design and installation of a specific

set of facilities aiming at coordinating the efforts of personnel charged with controlling the

emergency activities and those of authorities external to the site charged with protecting the

population and the environment. These facilities are called the Emergency Response

Facilities (ERF).

Different countries, utilities and nuclear power plants have different geographical and

infrastructure characteristics and different requirements under emergency situations.

However, the same fundamentals apply in terms of both on-site and off-site requirements.

The IAEA requirements for emergency response are addressed in SSR-2/1 and GSR Part 7.

Informative Annex A provides the more relevant extracts from these two IAEA publications.

Figure 1 below illustrates the most important control locations, emergency response facilities

and other associated facilities on-site and off-site. Some of the on-site facilities could be

combined to support close-communication or their functions could be dispersed across other

on-site facilities. The level of hardening and autonomy of the individual on-site facilities could

vary considerably.
Figure 1 – On-site and off-site ERFs and communicating entities

NOTE 1 No internationally standardized terminology has been established for the various on-site and off-site

emergency response facilities. The terms used in Figure 1 indicate the ones that have been adopted in this

document.

NOTE 2 Depending on local contexts, the “on-site” ERFs could be implemented close to the NPP and not inside it.

NOTE 3 The role and composition of the off-site civil authorities and emergency infrastructure are known to vary

widely. These entries in Figure 1 are therefore considered as illustrative only.

As indicated in Figure 1 some functional services are already dealt with in IEC standards.

This standard was proposed after the Fukushima-Daiichi accident to take into account the

lessons learned from those dramatic events. Several reports prepared after the accident, at

national level (Japanese Government report) as well as at international level (IAEA fact

finding mission) highlighted the role played by the Emergency Response Centre (ERC) during

those events and identified the need to take into account the experience gained to strengthen

the requirements for such a facility.
This led to the development of this standard, with the following principles:

• The scope should align with that of the relevant IAEA guidance, as given in SSR-2/1,

Rev. 1 and GSR Part 7;

• The scope should address the three functional facilities related to Emergency Response

that are addressed by the IAEA guidance (i.e. the ERC, TSC and OSC);

• The scope should be limited to such facilities that are on or near the NPP site. The scope

should exclude activities in the scope of local response authorities;

• The requirements should be defined in terms of the functions that are to be performed;

• The standard should address the way in which the functions are invoked in response to

different severities of incident / accident and any responsibilities that would be transferred

from the MCR to the Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs);

• The scope should include consideration of the requirements for environment control,

lighting, power supplies, access control of the ERFs, etc., as needed to enable the

Emergency Response functions to be performed;

• The only “controls” that should be provided are those that relate to the services that

provide the above mentioned environment control, lighting, power supplies, access control

of the ERFs, etc.;

• The standard should recognize that a wide range of national or regional situations exist

regarding the structure and arrangements for the off-site Emergency Response support.

This IEC standard specifically focuses on the issue of requirements relevant for the

Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs).

It is intended that the Standard be used by designers and operators of NPPs (utilities),

systems evaluators, vendors and subcontractors, and by licensors.

b) Situation of the current Standard in the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series

IEC 62954 is at the third level of the IEC SC 45A standard series. It is to be considered as

affiliated to IEC 60964, the top document on control rooms in the SC 45A standard series.

For a generic description of the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series, see item d) of

this introduction.
c) Recommendations and limitations regarding the application of the Standard

This standard establishes functional requirements for Emergency Response Facilities and

clarifies the design and operation of the ERF systems to be used in case of incidents or

accidents occurring on nuclear power plants (NPPs) and/or nuclear facilities.

It is recognized that this is an evolving area of regulatory requirements, due to ongoing

analysis of the Fukushima lessons learned. Therefore, the goal of this project is to provide a

standard, which defines the framework within which the evolving country or plant specific

requirements may be developed and applied.

d) Description of the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series and relationships

with other IEC documents and other bodies documents (IAEA, ISO)

The top-level documents of the IEC SC 45A standard series are IEC 61513 and IEC 63046.

IEC 61513 provides general requirements for I&C systems and equipment that are used to

perform functions important to safety in NPPs. IEC 63046 provides general requirements for

electrical power systems of NPPs; it covers power supply systems including the supply

systems of the I&C systems. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 are to be considered in conjunction

and at the same level. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 structure the IEC SC 45A standard series

and shape a complete framework establishing general requirements for instrumentation,

control and electrical systems for nuclear power plants.

IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 refer directly to other IEC SC 45A standards for general topics

related to categorization of functions and classification of systems, qualification, separation,

defence against common cause failure, control room design, electromagnetic compatibility,

cybersecurity, software and hardware aspects for programmable digital systems, coordination

of safety and security requirements and management of ageing. The standards referenced

directly at this second level should be considered together with IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 as

a consistent document set.

At a third level, IEC SC 45A standards not directly referenced by IEC 61513 or by IEC 63046

are standards related to specific equipment, technical methods, or specific activities. Usually

these documents, which make reference to second-level documents for general topics, can be

used on their own.

A fourth level extending the IEC SC 45 standard series, corresponds to the Technical Reports

which are not normative.

The IEC SC 45A standards series consistently implements and details the safety and security

principles and basic aspects provided in the relevant IAEA safety standards and in the

relevant documents of the IAEA nuclear security series (NSS). In particular this includes the

IAEA requirements SSR-2/1, establishing safety requirements related to the design of nuclear

power plants (NPPs), the IAEA safety guide SSG-30 dealing with the safety classification of

structures, systems and components in NPPs, the IAEA safety guide SSG-39 dealing with the

design of instrumentation and control systems for NPPs, the IAEA safety guide SSG-34

dealing with the design of electrical power systems for NPPs and the implementing guide

NSS17 for computer security at nuclear facilities. The safety and security terminology and

definitions used by SC 45A standards are consistent with those used by the IAEA.

IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 have adopted a presentation format similar to the basic safety

publication IEC 61508 with an overall life-cycle framework and a system life-cycle framework.

Regarding nuclear safety, IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 provide the interpretation of the general

requirements of IEC 61508-1, IEC 61508-2 and IEC 61508-4, for the nuclear application

sector. In this framework IEC 60880, IEC 62138 and IEC 62566 correspond to IEC 61508-3

for the nuclear application sector. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 refer to ISO as well as to

IAEA GSR Part 2 and IAEA GS-G-3.1 and IAEA GS-G-3.5 for topics related to quality

assurance (QA). At level 2, regarding nuclear security, IEC 62645 is the entry document for

the IEC/SC 45A security standards. It builds upon the valid high level principles and main

concepts of the generic security standards, in particular ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002; it

adapts them and completes them to fit the nuclear context and coordinates with the

IEC 62443 series. At level 2, IEC 60964 is the entry document for the IEC/SC 45A control

rooms standards and IEC 62342 is the entry document for the ageing management standards.

NOTE 1 It is assumed that for the design of I&C systems in NPPs that implement conventional safety functions

(e.g. to address worker safety, asset protection, chemical hazards, process energy hazards) international or

national standards would be applied.

NOTE 2 IEC/SC 45A domain was extended in 2013 to cover electrical systems. In 2014 and 2015 discussions

were held in IEC/SC 45A to decide how and where general requirements for the design of electrical systems were

to be considered. IEC/SC 45A experts recommended that an independent standard be developed at t

...
