Assuring Nuclear Safety During Operation of Nuclear Power Plants

By Milorad Dusic

Assuring Nuclear Safety during Operation of Nuclear Power Plants is the third volume in a set of titles that analyses the full spectrum of nuclear safety. Even though the most important safety analyses are performed already in the design phase and presented in the Final Safety Analyses Report (FSAR), safety analyses continue throughout the life of the plant as FSAR updates, either because new scientific evidence is emerging, or modifications are being implemented. This book provides instructional information to assure safety during the operation of a nuclear power plant. After an introduction to the important of operational safety, operating procedures and operational limits and conditions are presented in detail, including normal and emergency operating procedures and preventive, corrective and periodic maintenance actions. Subsequent chapters describe how to carry out in-depth safety analyses, incorporating how to optimize radiation protection. Finally, severe accident management strategies are discussed, as well as emergency assessments and procedures. Assuring Nuclear Safety during Operation of Nuclear Power Plants is an essential resource for nuclear operators, students and researchers needing guidance in how to safely operate a nuclear power plant.
