Learning
Nuclear Reactor Safety Principles
Purpose
To provide learners with a high-level appraisal of nuclear reactor safety principles and associated regulatory issues.
Who is this for?
Managers, engineers, operators, safety advisors and risk management practitioners.
Outline content
- National and international standards
- Legislative and regulatory framework
- Management of nuclear reactor risk
– Risk categorisation
