Nuclear Reactor Safety Principles
Purpose
To provide learners with a high-level appraisal of nuclear reactor safety principles and associated regulatory issues.
Outline
- National and international standards
- Legislative and regulatory framework
- Management of nuclear reactor risk
– Risk categorisation
– Defence in depth - Reactor hazards and safety barriers
– Core inventory
– Barriers to release - Nuclear reactor siting: safety considerations
