ASAMPSA_E (Advanced Safety Assessment: Extended PSA) is a three-year European project of the 7th Framework Programme dedicated to the identification of good practices in assessing the effects of the combination of extreme external events on nuclear power plant safety using probabilistic safety analyses. The first work package is aimed at identifying the needs of end-users, the second to modeling initiating events and how they are taken into account in the probabilistic safety analyses of the first level (events leading to insult core), the third to general problems of extended probabilistic safety analyses and fourth to specific problems related to the probabilistic safety analyses of the second level (the expected frequency, quantity, composition, location, etc. of radioactive releases into the environment due to the failure of bulkheads and containment systems).

Purpose of the ASAMPSA_E project meeting was to review the status reports for the above-mentioned work packages. A total of 20 presented status reports with the necessary steps for the completion of these reports. JSI was particularly actively involved in the reports D30.4 "The Link Between the Defence-in-Depth Concept and Extended PSA", D30.5 "Risk Metrics and Measures for an Extended PSA", D40.4 "External Events and PSA Level 2" and D40.5 "Guidance on the verification and improvement of SAM strategies with L2 PSA". Finally, it was told that the project coordinator asked for a six-month extension of the project, i.e. up to December 31st 2015.

The ASAMPSA_E project meeting for all four work packages, which was hosted between November 23rd and 27th 2015 in Fontenay-aux-Roses by the Institut de Radioprotection et de Suret Nucléaire (IRSN) (Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety Institute), was attended by dr. Andrej Prošek from Reactor Engineering Division of JSI.
