RCC-F is the reference fire code for nuclear power plants. This code has been used for the design of more than 120 nuclear power plants worldwide (France, China, United Kingdom, etc.).
It is used in particular for the EPR projects, whether Flamanville 3 or Hinkley Point C in the United Kingdom, or for the relaunch of nuclear energy in France through the EPR 2 projects.
AFCEN is the association responsible for drafting and updating the RCC-F code through the subcommittee of which Efectis France is an active member, with responsibility for relations with national regulations. Regulations are constantly changing and evolving, and codes must keep pace with these developments. This is why the RCC-F is back in its 2024 version.
Efectis, as an AFCEN-approved trainer, also has a duty to evolve. The training course has therefore been completely revised and validated during a working session known as the “pilot session” in the presence of the subcommittee’s expert members. It is now available in a modular format, adapted to each of the professions concerned within organisations.
The first module is a general introduction to the issues and content of the RCC-F Code.
The second module covers security and vulnerability assessment tools.
The third module considers the interfaces with national regulations and the solutions provided in case of conflict between the different requirements.
The fourth module deals with the fire qualification of systems and equipment.
It is organised in one of Efectis’ two main laboratories, in Maizières-les-Metz (57) or Les Avenières (38).
