Reactor Safety Assessment

Reactor safety assessment involves evaluating nuclear power plants to ensure they operate securely and minimize risks. It examines potential accident scenarios, system performance, and safety measures like containment structures and control mechanisms. By identifying vulnerabilities and testing responses to emergencies, regulators and operators can improve safety protocols. This assessment helps protect people, the environment, and future energy supply by preventing accidents or limiting their impact if they occur. Essentially, it’s a thorough review process designed to ensure nuclear reactors function safely throughout their operational life.
