skos:definition "A specific purpose that must be accomplished for 'safety'.<br/>
Reference [40] lists 19 'safety functions' to be fulfilled by the 'design' of a nuclear <br/>power plant in order to meet three general 'safety requirements':<br/>
(a) The capability to safely shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe <br/>
shutdown condition during and after appropriate 'operational states' and <br/>'accident conditions';<br/>
(b) The capability to remove 'residual heat' from the reactor core after <br/>
shutdown, and during and after appropriate 'operational states' and <br/>'accident conditions'; <br/>
(c) The capability to reduce the potential for the release of 'radioactive '<br/>
'material' and to ensure that any releases are within 'prescribed limits' during <br/>and after 'operational states' and within 'acceptable limits' during and after <br/>'design basis accidents'.<br/>
This guidance is commonly condensed into a succinct expression of three <br/><i><b>main safety functions</b></i> for nuclear power plants:<br/>
(a) 'Control' of 'reactivity';<br/>(b) Cooling of 'radioactive material'; <br/>(c) 'Confinement' of 'radioactive material'.<br/>
In earlier 'IAEA publications', ‘basic 'safety function'’ and ‘fundamental <br/>
'safety function'’ were also used.<br/>" (en)
