<strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>Course</strong> (BPTC) on Nuclear Safety<br />

isolation and separation of different and potentially <strong>in</strong>teract<strong>in</strong>g systems assigned to<br />

different safety classes should be assessed.<br />

6.1.1. Objectives for Safety Classification<br />

6.1.1.1 General Design Requirements<br />

The typical risk of nuclear energy is connected with the potential hazard of ioniz<strong>in</strong>g<br />

radiation. The f<strong>in</strong>al goal of nuclear safety is therefore the need to limit radiation exposure<br />

of the public and the site personnel for all operational states and accident conditions of a<br />

nuclear power plant. To ensure adequate safety, the follow<strong>in</strong>g general safety requirements<br />

shall be met by the plant design:<br />

1) Means shall be provided to safely shut down the reactor and ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> it <strong>in</strong> a safe<br />

shutdown condition dur<strong>in</strong>g and after appropriate operational states and accident<br />

conditions.<br />

2) Means shall be provided to remove residual heat from the core after reactor<br />

shutdown, and dur<strong>in</strong>g and after appropriate operational states and accident<br />

conditions.<br />

3) Means shall be provided to reduce the potential for the release of radioactive<br />

materials and to assure that any releases are with<strong>in</strong> prescribed limits dur<strong>in</strong>g and after<br />

operational states and with<strong>in</strong> acceptable limits dur<strong>in</strong>g and after accident conditions.<br />

6.1.1.2. Safety Functions<br />

The listed safety functions enable the design to meet the general safety requirements.<br />
