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…
Guidelines for Risk Based Process Safety provides guidelines for industries that manufacture, consume, or handle chemicals, by focusing on new ways to design, correct, or improve process safety management practices. This new framework for thinking about process safety builds upon the original process safety management ideas published in the early 1990s, integrates industry lessons learned over …
The global nuclear safety and security framework (GNSSF) provides a conceptual structure and guidelines for achieving and maintaining a high level of safety and security at nuclear facilities and in nuclear related activities around the world. Technical and scientific support organizations (TSOs) play an essential role in sustaining the GNSSF by providing assistance to regulatory bodies in esta…
The IAEA’s Statute authorizes it to “establish…standards of safety for protection of health and minimization of danger to life and property”. These are standards that the IAEA must apply to its own operations, and that States can apply through their national regulations. Radioactivity is a natural phenomenon and natural sources of radiation are features of the environment. Radiation…
This book provides an introduction to reliability and risk analysis, both for engineering students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and for practicing engineers. Since realibility analysis is a multidisciplinary subject, the scope is not limited to any one engineering disciplines. Rather, the material is applicable to most engineering discipline. I developed the contents of this book f…
This report provides detailed guidance on how to review probabilistic safety assessments (PSAs) for nuclear power plants with the purpose of providing a basis for taking risk informed decisions within a regulatory decision making process. It gives a detailed account of the field and also addresses the relevant technical issues.
