American National Standard: nuclear-safety criteria for the design of stationary pressurized-water-reactor plants

Book · Sat Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1983

OSTI ID:5644532

This standard establishes the nuclear safety criteria and functional design requirements of structures, systems, and components of stationary pressurized water reactor (PWR) power plants. Operations, maintenance, and testing requirements are covered only to the extent that they affect design provisions. A methodology is given for classifying all equipment into one of three Safety Classes according to its importance to nuclear safety or into a Non-Nuclear Safety Class. Another methodology is given for identifying and categorizing into one of five Plant Conditions the normal operations and events for which the plant shall be designed. Acceptance criteria are given for each Plant Condition. Specific design requirements are given for each major system in a typical plant.
