This publication provides guidelines for evaluating the engineering safety aspects of the protection of nuclear power plants against sabotage. The guidance, which is the result of extensive dialogue among safety and security specialists, takes into account the existing robustness of structures, systems and components and emphasizes those aspects of sabotage protection that work synergistically …
This safety practice report provides guidance on conducting a Level 1 PSA for internal events in nuclear power plants. The main emphasis is on the procedural steps of the PSA rather than the details of the corresponding methods. The report is intended to assist technical persons managing or performing PSAs. A particular aim is to promote a standardized framework, terminology and form of documen…
