Aircraft crash onto a nuclear power plant or a chemical plant is an external hazard which has to be taken into account in a comprehensive safety assessment.

Methods to analyze plants systematically regarding the adequacy of their existing protection equipment against hazards can be deterministic as well as probabilistic.

In case of probabilistic safety assessments experience has shown that is reasonable to have procedures to screen out, e.g., rooms or buildings of the plant under consideration where no further analysis is required or to establish a safety graded procedure taking into account plant and site specific conditions such as design of buildings against aircraft crash impact as well as distance to smaller and larger airports including the current travel situation for commercial and military aircrafts.

All the official guests, exhibitors and visitors at ISNR live demonstration were able see the work of all these units that have shown their ability to respond to such disasters with efficiency and great professionalism.
