Summary:

This publication by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) serves as a specific safety guide for instrumentation and control systems and software important to safety in research reactors. It is part of the IAEA Safety Standards Series and outlines essential safety measures to protect health and minimize danger in nuclear research environments. The guide draws upon international consensus and the practical experience of IAEA member states to establish safety principles, requirements, and measures that control radiation exposure and manage radioactive materials. It aims to support member states in meeting their national and international safety obligations, providing a reference for enhancing safety in nuclear power generation, research reactors, and other nuclear applications. The intended audience includes regulatory bodies, nuclear facility operators, and safety professionals involved in the nuclear industry. Generated by AI.
