ND screens incident reports made by licensees to identify those which have had the potential to challenge a nuclear safety system. A search of the raw input data for such screening from January 2001 to June 2009 has been undertaken for details of leaks and fires at nuclear installations. This identifies the relevant information in the tables. Such data are not available for the period before January 2001."Notes:""1. A 'coolant leak' has been interpreted as being a loss of coolant, including clean coolant, from an item of plant into the working environment of the licensed site. Coolant itself has been interpreted as being water, carbon dioxide or hydrogen on a power station, and water elsewhere.""2. A 'fire' has been interpreted as being a situation where ignition of material has taken place on the licensed site or instances of smouldering there where such ignition could not reasonably be ruled out given the information in the record."<Table width="100%" summary="" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" border="0"><thead><tr><th>Coolant leaks to
