Objective and scope of the meeting

The main objectives of the meeting were to exchange information on the studies performed and countermeasures taken for coping with accidents during low power and shutdown conditions, and to define the necessity and directions of further activities which may promote safety improvements for NPPs. Participants from east European Member States were requested to present their activities and results on this topic and to participate in the discussions. Experts from selected western countries were requested to summarize the most important results achieved in LPS work in their countries. 

A broad spectrum of approaches and results for various types of reactors operated in the European region (WWER, RBMK, CANDU, Westinghouse PWR, BWR) were covered in the presentations.
