24 Evaluations for Malaysian Radiation and Nuclear Emergency Plan Requirements: Case Study Analysis Using Work System Theory

Efficient and effective energy management is a prominent factor in the new global economy. The Malaysian government is fulfilling this ambition by implementing a Nuclear Power Program (NPP) to provide sustainable energy for the country. However, the safety issue has become important in the light of public concern. The focus of this paper is to examine requirements for Malaysian radiation and nuclear (RN) contingency plan such as emergencies, incidents or disasters, originating from radiological and nuclear resources. The prospective emergency plan requirements are determined by Work System Theory (WST) modeling. A case study explanatory structural analysis is depicted as proposed network diagram and work system snapshot. The development of these snapshots can help to enhance the proposed emergency plan simulation modeling in order to achieve certain preparedness regarding nuclear safety environment in Malaysia, far better than the use of manuals or conventional table top emergency drills.
