Nuclear Safety Standards

Nuclear safety standards are a set of international rules and guidelines designed to ensure the safe operation of nuclear power plants and related facilities. They aim to prevent accidents, protect people and the environment, and manage any potential emergencies effectively. These standards cover areas like reactor design, security, staff training, and emergency preparedness, ensuring consistent safety practices worldwide. By adhering to these standards, operators minimize risks associated with radiation exposure, leaks, or accidents, maintaining public trust and environmental protection while enabling the responsible use of nuclear technology.
