This Safety Guide discusses the phenomena, both natural and human induced, that may cause floods or droughts at coastal and river sites, and gives an outline of the methods that can be used for, and the critical factors involved in, the evaluation of such events and of their associated effects. Possible combinations of two or more phenomena that can give rise to flooding at a site are also disc…
This Safety Guide was prepared as part of the Agency's programme for establishing Codes and Safety Guides relating to nuclear power plants. The main purpose of the text is to provide guidance on the determination of the design basis ground motions for a nuclear power plant at a chosen site and on the determination of the potential for surface faulting at that site. Additionally, the Guide discu…
The systems which perform the vitai functions of monitoring and controlling systems and parameters at nuclear power plants are known as instrumentation and control (I&C) systems*. They are divided into two types: information systems and control systems. Both types operate by providing signals from measuring equipment. Information systems monitor plant parameters and systems; they display and…
Identifies the typical parameters of a component that permit it to be characterized unequivocally and to allow the corresponding reliability data to be associated with those of other components having equivalent typical parameters. Parameters refer to technical characteristics including the physical principle of operation and quality level and to actual operating conditions and maintenance and …
This Safety Guide provides guidance on the development, content and use of operational limits and conditions (limits on plant operating parameters) and operating procedures that affect them. It recommends how to meet the requirements established in Safety Standards Series No. NS-R-2, Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Operation, setting out the responsibilities of the operating organization in set…
This is the 32nd edition of Reference Data Series No. 2, which presents the most recent reactor data available to the IAEA. It contains summarized information as of the end of 2011 on power reactors that are in operation, under construction and shut down, and performance data on reactors operating in IAEA Member States, as reported to the IAEA. The information is collected through designated na…

This guide outlines the factors to be considered to ensure that the operating organization has a sufficient number of qualified site personnel who are aware of their duties and responsibilities. It covers the organization for the nuclear power plant, the educational qualifications and experience of the persons recruited, the recruitment and training schedule, the training of operating personnel…
This Guidebook constitutes a complement to a series of technical guidebooks: Technical Evaluation of Bids for Nuclear Power Plants, Technical Reports Series No. 204 (1981); Guidebook on the Introduction of Nuclear Power, Technical Reports Series No. 217 (1982); and Economic Evaluation of Bids for Nuclear Power Plants, 1999 Edition, Technical Reports Series No. 369 (2000). These provide, in part…
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 4.2, “Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power Stations.” This revision provides general guidance to applicants for the format and content of environmental reports (ERs) that are submitted as part of an application for a permit, license, or other approval for a new nuclear power plant.
