Nuclear Safety
Introduction
I have written this book because of my firm belief
that it is necessary to try to gather and to preserve
in written form, and from one perspective, the
accumulated experience in the fields of nuclear
safety and of radiation protection. This is particularly
important for countries where nuclear energy
exploitation has been stopped, but where it might
have to be resumed in future. The main accent of
this book is on Nuclear Safety.
From another point of view, many areas developed
in nuclear safety studies are of interest in
the safety of process plants too and, therefore,
it is worthwhile writing about them. Given this
perspective, I have tried to collect the ideas, the
data and the methods which, in many decades of
professional work in several countries, are in my
opinion the most useful for ‘integrated system’
evaluations of the plant safety.
I have emphasized the complete site–plant system
more than single details, so the data and the
methods discussed are not those applied in the
many specialized disciplines devoted to the in-depth
study of safety but are those required for overall,
first approximation, assessments. In my opinion,
such assessments are the most useful ones for the
detection of many safety-related problems in a
plant and for the drafting of a complete picture of
them. The more accurate and precise methods
are, however, essential in the optimization phase
of plant design and of its operational parameters.
