Footnotes
1Optimization of protection (and safety) is the process of determining what level of protection and safety makes exposures, and the probability and magnitude of potential exposures, “as low as reasonably achievable, economic and social factors being taken into account” (ALARA) [3].
2A report setting out guidelines for water chemistry for WWER nuclear power plants is in preparation as part of the IAEA Nuclear Energy Series.
3Spiking phenomena occur when fission products that are accumulated in all the spaces in the fuel pin (in fractures in the fuel pellets, in the gap between the fuel pellets and the cladding and in the expansion chamber) are released into the coolant when the pressure is decreased (see Ref. [13]).
