Abstract
The nuclear and radiation safety system for nuclear industry facilities in Russia [1] was formed in the course of industrial development. The system is based on the longstanding experience in designing and operation gained by the plants, institutes, and agencies responsible for the reliable operation and safety of nuclear installations. The current safety system has the following elements:
-
Technical measures directed towards the facility reliability and safety;
-
Successive upgrading and reconstruction of installations and plants; timely shut down and decommissioning of those whose life time has expired and for which there is no further need;
-
Improvement and introduction of regulatory documents;
-
R&D and experimental investigations on substantiation and development of safety measures, assessment of their reliability, estimation of accident frequency and risk;
-
Personnel selection, professional training, and access to work;
-
Facilities made ready for accident management, elimination of radiation consequences, protection of the population and territories in case of accidents, including emergency conditions of man-induced nature;
-
State inspection, industry and facility control of compliance with requirements, and implementation of nuclear and radiation safety measures;
-
Follow-on of chief designers, scientific leaders of projects, and general designers at all the stages of nuclear facility operation.
