Title: Safety aspects of nuclear plants coupled with seawater desalination units (2001)
Abstract:
The purpose of this publication is to address the specific safety and licensing aspects of nuclear plants for use in heat utilization applications and to establish the basis for safety assessment of such plants. This publication also proposes a general approach for the preparation of safety requirements for reactors with special safety features or of a smaller size compared with nuclear power plants. This approach (top-down approach) is aimed at generating the safety design requirements for any kind of nuclear reactor starting from those for nuclear power plants, which are covered by the IAEA’s well established corpus of safety standards.
