Progress in Safety Assessment …<br />
Safety Analysis<br />
• Analysis to predict the performance of an overall system <strong>and</strong> its impact,<br />
where the performance measure is the radiological impact or some other<br />
global measure of the impact on safety.<br />
Safety Assessment<br />
1. Assessment of all aspects of a practice that are relevant to protection <strong>and</strong><br />
safety; for an authorized facility, this includes siting, design <strong>and</strong> operation of<br />
the facility. This will normally include risk assessment <strong>and</strong> probabilistic SA.<br />
2. Systematic process that is carried out ... to ensure that all the relevant<br />
safety requirements are met by the proposed (or actual) design. Safety<br />
assessment includes, but is not limited to, the formal safety analysis.<br />
Safety Case<br />
• A collection of arguments <strong>and</strong> evidence in support of the safety of a facility<br />
or activity. This will normally include the findings of a safety assessment<br />
<strong>and</strong> a statement of confidence in these findings.<br />
