REQUALIFICATION OF TRANSPORT AND HANDLING EQUIPMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH GERMAN ATOMIC LAW

In the now valid standards of the (German) Nuclear Safety Commission (KTA) there are new, other and/or stronger requirements for design (analytical and mechanical) and tests (Construction and Acceptance Tests and In-service Inspections) of transport- and handling equipment. At the time of erecting the first nuclear power plants (NPP) in Germany there have only been the German DIN- Standards. Since that time, the KT A has created drafts and standards with some higher requirements. This is the reason why the above described equipment has design deviations. On base of the ,as-built\" documentation in safety analysis, we are carrying out comparisions with the requirements of current standards and are analysing the deviations. Important missing assessments have to be added. After finishing this step there has to follow the evaluation of the possible deviations, their acceptance and/or change in assessment and hardware.
