Summary:
For operators of nuclear research facilities, it is of particular
importance to investigate minor incidents: indeed, as safety
demonstrations are generally based on the presence of several
independent "lines of defence", only through attentive investigation
of every occurrence, usually minor and of no consequence, can the
level of trust placed in each of these defensive lines be confirmed,
or the potential risks arising out of a possible weakness in the
system be anticipated. The efficiency of the system is based on a
rigorous procedure: stringent attention to all incidents,
consideration of the potential consequences of the incidents in their
most pessimistic scenarios, and promotion of a broad conception of
transpositions of the events, in time and space, for experience
feedback. This efficiency presumes motivation on the part of all
those involved, hence the importance of dissociating from the concept
of an "incident" any notion of "error" or "blame" both in internal
analysis and in public communications. The nuclear industry has
developed some very progressive tools for experience feedback, which
could interest also management of other technological risks. This
book presents the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Workshop dedicated
to this important matter of concern.
