Enhancing system resilience and organisational safety in the nuclear industry through joined-up regulation, policy and procedures

核电的安全至关重要，但所有行业和组织都会经历不同程度的事故和意外事件。管理核电的复杂性对安全和复原力提出了独特的挑战。深度防御、风险管理、主动监测和强大的被动安全系统与行为和组织方法相结合，以发展强有力的核安全文化。然而，如果在设计上相互隔离，这些主动措施可以结合在一起，形成由激励、纠正行动、程序、安全系统、因果关系组成的紧密耦合的网络，最终增加整个系统的脆弱性。这个项目将寻求通过开发新的方法来结合监管、政策和程序来增强系统的弹性和组织安全性。它将利用技术创新和行为洞察力来确定脆弱领域、关键杠杆点和行动，以提高安全性和降低高影响、低概率事件的风险。

The safety of nuclear power is of paramount importance, yet all industries and organisations experience some degree of accidents and unwanted events. Managing the complexity of nuclear power presents unique challenges for safety and resilience. Defence in depth, risk management, active monitoring and robust passive safety systems are combined with behavioural and organisational approaches to develop strong nuclear safety cultures. If designed in isolation from one another these proactive measures can however combine to form tightly coupled networks of incentives, corrective actions, procedures, safety-systems, causes and effects that ultimately increase the fragility of the overall system.This project will seek to enhance system resilience and organisational safety by developing novel approaches to joined-up regulation, policy and procedures. It will utilise technological innovations and behavioural insights to identify areas of vulnerability, key leverage points and actions to improve safety and reduce the risk of high-impact low-probability events.
