skos:definition "'Analysis' of those factors at a site that could affect the 'safety' of a 'facility or '<br/>
'activity' on that site. This includes 'site' 'characterization', consideration of factors <br/>that could affect 'safety' features of the 'facility' or 'activity' so as to result in a <br/>release of 'radioactive material' and/or could affect the 'dispersion' of such <br/>material in the environment, as well as population and access issues relevant to <br/>'safety' (e.g. feasibility of 'evacuation', location of people and resources).<br/>
The 'analysis' for a site of the origins of 'external events' that could give rise to <br/>hazards with potential consequences for the 'safety' of a nuclear power plant <br/>constructed on that site. (The definition in Ref. [41] had ‘'sources'’ instead of <br/>‘origins’.)<br/>For a nuclear power plant, 'site evaluation' typically involves the following <br/>stages:<br/>
(a) 'Site selection' stage. One or more preferred candidate sites are selected <br/>
after the investigation of a large region, the rejection of unsuitable sites, <br/>and 'screening' and comparison of the remaining sites.<br/>
(b) 'Site' 'characterization' stage. This stage is further subdivided into:<br/>
• 'Site verification', in which the suitability of the site to host a nuclear <br/>
power plant is verified mainly according to predefined site <i>exclusion<br/></i>criteria;<br/>
• 'Site confirmation', in which the characteristics of the site necessary for <br/>
the purposes of 'analysis' and detailed 'design' are determined.<br/>
(c) Pre-operational stage. Studies and investigations begun in the previous <br/>
stages are continued after the start of 'construction' and before the start of <br/>'operation' of the plant, to complete and refine the 'assessment' of site <br/>
characteristics. The site data obtained allow a final 'assessment' of the <br/>simulation 'models' used in the final 'design'.<br/>
(d) Operational stage. Appropriate 'safety' related 'site evaluation' 'activities' are <br/>
carried out throughout the lifetime of the 'facility', mainly by means of <br/>'monitoring' and 'periodic safety review'.<br/>" (en)
