Design extension conditions for nuclear power plants . : CC174-4/2014-1E-PDF

"Part of the ongoing international examination of the Fukushima accident has resulted in increased effort in developing prevention and mitigation strategies for accident situations and scenarios beyond those considered during the initial design of nuclear facilities. These accident scenarios are termed design extension conditions (DECs) and their consideration is becoming increasingly prevalent within the international nuclear community. ... This paper summarizes the CNSC’s current understanding of DECs. Its intent is not to provide a CNSC position but to stimulate discussion on the subject of DECs."--p. 1-2.
