This book discusses the specifics of safety regulations regarding
nuclear risk and how experts contribute to the safety of nuclear
installations. Drawing on research conducted in collaboration with
the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety
(IRSN), the ideas that are put forward rely on a review of the
practices of specialists in human and organizational factors
concerning nuclear safety. The author shows that the French
approach depends on maintaining a technical dialogue between the
regulatory authority (ASN), IRSN and nuclear operators. This method
of risk management is known as "French cooking" in the Anglo-Saxon
world, where a more formal regulatory approach is taken. This
technical dialogue does however hold certain benefits, particularly
in the field of human and organizational factors, where it allows
an advancement of the state of knowledge, which remains incomplete.
After the Fukushima accident, in the face of an ongoing European
and global re-evaluation of the safety of nuclear power and
alignment towards the Anglo-Saxon standard, the French cooking
approach may yet be able to make a significant contribution. This
work will be of interest to all involved in nuclear power
engineering and in the field of risk management and nuclear safety.
Includes a preface by Jacques Repussard, Director General, IRSN,
France, and a postface by Erik Hollnagel, Professor, Institute of
Regional Health Research, University of Southern Denmark / Chief
Consultant, Centre for Quality, Region of Southern Denmark.
