Summary:

This publication by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) provides a comprehensive guide on the use of periodic safety reviews (PSR) for the long-term operation of nuclear power plants. It addresses the importance of assessing the safety of nuclear power plants to justify continued operation beyond their initially planned timeframes. The book outlines strategies, methodologies, and criteria for conducting these reviews, which include evaluating design, the status of structures, systems, components, equipment qualification, and ageing. It emphasizes the role of PSR in ensuring plant safety through systematic evaluation against updated standards and regulations. The publication targets nuclear industry professionals, regulatory bodies, and safety experts, offering insights into global best practices and examples of safety improvements. Generated by AI.
