Abstract

Organizational resilience defines the capability of how a nuclear power plant organization manages disturbances, both outside and inside a nuclear power plant. The paper specifies the organizational resilience on the basis of analyzing the disturbances of a nuclear power plant. These disturbances include internal incidents, accidents and transients as well as those caused by external environment. The paper tries to reveal the mechanism of how organizational resilience functions on the safety of a nuclear power plant. The paper assumes the taking place of an accident (Small Loss of Coolant) and analyzes how the plant organization responds to the accident to illustrate the mechanism.
