Abstract: The development of operational intervention level (OIL) is important in emergency preparedness for nuclear power plants. In order to meet the requirement of international nuclear emergency management, the OILs for HPR1000 are calculated and studied based on the latest OIL derivation methodology of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The level two probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) severe accident source terms of HPR1000 are used, and the applicability of OIL default values of IAEA are analyzed. The results showed that the values of OIL2γ dose rate of HPR1000 within the first 10 days after the reactor shutdown are as low as 60 μSv/h, which is 3/5 of the default value of IAEA. Other OILs of HPR1000 are within the range of the default values of IAEA. The setting value of OIL2γ less than 60 μSv/h within the first 10 days after reactor is recommended, the setting value of OIL4γ dose rate should be 1-4 μSv/h according to the natural radioactive background at the site and the nature of the characteristics of monitoring instrument, and the other OILs should be set as the default values of IAEA.

Key words: operational intervention level, nuclear emergency, HPR1000, severe accident
