Development of a safety control program concept for nuclear energy facilities

The study focuses on developing a safety control program concept for nuclear power plants (NPPs) to enhance risk management reliability, personnel protection, public safety, and environmental security. The introduction emphasizes the relevance of radiation safety issues, the necessity of adapting existing monitoring methods, and the need for rapid response to potential threats. Modern control systems require integration with automated platforms to improve emergency management efficiency. Given the potential technological risks, the development and implementation of a new safety control program are crucial for the nuclear energy sector. The aim of this study is to create a program that systematizes risk data and ensures its effective use. The methodology includes an analysis of NPP safety passports, the development of a centralized database structure, and the implementation of modern technologies such as Django, Docker, and SQLite3. The program features a web interface for real-time access, containerization tools, and system performance monitoring. Key methods used include probabilistic analysis, accident scenario modeling, data visualization, and information systematization for decisionmaking. Data analysis enables risk forecasting, potential impact assessment, and the development of preventive measures. The results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed concept over traditional monitoring methods. Graphs help assess accident probabilities, damage distribution, and the impact of response time on mitigating consequences. The analysis indicates that an automated system enhances prediction accuracy, accelerates data processing, and reduces human error risks. Additionally, the proposed system shortens decision-making time, improves emergency planning efficiency, and enhances coordination among safety and security services. The conclusions highlight that the proposed safety control program concept ensures a higher level of protection. It is adapted for practical implementation, integrates with existing systems, and serves as a valuable tool for improving the safety of nuclear power plant operations while minimizing potential risks and increasing resilience.

Abstract

The study focuses on developing a safety control program concept for nuclear power plants (NPPs) to enhance risk management reliability, personnel protection, public safety, and environmental security. The introduction emphasizes the relevance of radiation safety issues, the necessity of adapting existing monitoring methods, and the need for rapid response to potential threats. Modern control systems require integration with automated platforms to improve emergency management efficiency. Given the potential technological risks, the development and implementation of a new safety control program are crucial for the nuclear energy sector. The aim of this study is to create a program that systematizes risk data and ensures its effective use. The methodology includes an analysis of NPP safety passports, the development of a centralized database structure, and the implementation of modern technologies such as Django, Docker, and SQLite3. The program features a web interface for real-time access, containerization tools, and system performance monitoring. Key methods used include probabilistic analysis, accident scenario modeling, data visualization, and information systematization for decisionmaking. Data analysis enables risk forecasting, potential impact assessment, and the development of preventive measures. The results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed concept over traditional monitoring methods. Graphs help assess accident probabilities, damage distribution, and the impact of response time on mitigating consequences. The analysis indicates that an automated system enhances prediction accuracy, accelerates data processing, and reduces human error risks. Additionally, the proposed system shortens decision-making time, improves emergency planning efficiency, and enhances coordination among safety and security services. The conclusions highlight that the proposed safety control program concept ensures a higher level of protection. It is adapted for practical implementation, integrates with existing systems, and serves as a valuable tool for improving the safety of nuclear power plant operations while minimizing potential risks and increasing resilience.
