A Nuclear Reactor Facility Safety Inspection Guide

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis Is to propose a detailed safety inspection guide for use by the Air Force In inspecting Its nuclear reactor facilities. Even though nuclear reactors and system, should be designed so as to be inherently safe, it is not possible to attain a 100 per cent foolproof design. Thus it is necessary, in view of the magnitude, of potential loss to be suffered from a nuclear reactor accident, to inspect reactor facilities for safety. The Air Force is responsible for safety at USAF reactor facilities end has initiated, through the Directorate of Nuclear Safety Research (DNSR), a periodic Inspection program. It is toward this program that this guide is slanted.
