A review on the defense-in-depth concept and the flex strategies in different countries after Fukushima accident

To enhance the defense in depth for nuclear safety after the Fukushima nuclear accident, the U.S. Nuclear Energy Institute put forward the concept of diverse and flexible coping strategies and the corresponding FLEX support guidelines for the special scenarios of extended loss of alternating current...

The introduction of the concept of FLEX strategy into the defense in depth was the biggest improvement for nuclear safety in the recent decade. This paper has reviewed the concept of traditional defense in depth and its weakness that led to the Fukushima nuclear accident, which led to the development motivation for the FLEX strategy. The research progress of the FLEX strategy in different countries in the past ten years has been reviewed.
