9. Some Key points about SAFETY
⢠All industries need proper SAFETY practice
â It is not just nuclear
⢠In sectors involving high temperature, high pressure, high
flammability, safety becomes all the more critical
⢠There are rules / acts / regulations of sovereign governments to
ensure and check SAFETY practices
⢠There are industry standards and codes that dictate design,
manufacture, operation and maintenance issues.
⢠Industry / professional bodies also give certifications to industries,
and personnel.

How Nuclear Power Plants
(NPPs) are different?
⢠As temperature, pressure etc, are defined, the NPPs are
similar to thermal power plants, and are governed by
ASME B&PV (or similar codes)
⢠Key differentiator of Nuclear power plants is the
consideration of seismic events in the design &
operation
⢠This driven by a need to contain the radio active
emission in the event of seismic event.
11. Simulated. Designed. Delivered.www.pro-sim.com Invited Lecture Delivered at ICNPG-2018, Hyderabad, 3-5, Oct, 2018
In the event of an earthquake
⢠Radiation leakage and effects have to be
minimised to the minimum (ALARA principle)
⢠Entire design, manufacture, operation philosophy
of NPPs is driven by this.
⢠There are multiple layers of safety assurance
Defence in Depth â DiD; supported by design
procedures and guidelines.
13. Simulated. Designed. Delivered.www.pro-sim.com Invited Lecture Delivered at ICNPG-2018, Hyderabad, 3-5, Oct, 2018
Safety assurance in
Nuclear Power Plants
⢠It is the responsibility of operator to ensure the safety of nuclear
power plant. (Level L4)
⢠Codes such as ASME/ RCC/ PNAE / IEEE etc., set standards
for design, manufacture, and operation of various systems,
structures, components of NPPs. (Level L3)
⢠Regulatory bodies such as AERB (atomic energy regulatory
board) set guidelines for design and operation (Level L2)
⢠Governments promulgate acts, sets rules and regulations (for
example Atomic Energy Act in India (level L1)

Seismic qualification of ECCS Compressor
Introduction:-
Emergency core cooling systems (ECCS) are designed to safely shut down a
nuclear reactor during accident conditions. The compressor is been used to
supply the compressed air to the next processes.

Functional operability check & Bearing load
bearing capacity checks
ďThe compressor is a active
mechanical equipment & hence
the functional operability check
is performed to ensure that ,
there is sufficient Clarence
between the stationary &
rotating components of the
compressor.
ďThe bearing are checked for
their load bearing capacity for
the seismic load cases

Seismic qualification of Control valves
Introduction:-
The Control valves are used in ECCS to control the fluid flow or for the over
pressure protection in the pipe line.

23. Simulated. Designed. Delivered.www.pro-sim.com Invited Lecture Delivered at ICNPG-2018, Hyderabad, 3-5, Oct, 2018
Summary
⢠Safety of nuclear power plants is ensured by the
operator subjects to the regulatory framework set
by regulatory authorities, and the law of the land.
⢠Professional bodies set standards and codes
(such as ASME B&PV, RCC, PNAE, IEEE etc.,) of
practice for safe design, manufacture, operation of
nuclear power plants.
24. Simulated. Designed. Delivered.www.pro-sim.com Invited Lecture Delivered at ICNPG-2018, Hyderabad, 3-5, Oct, 2018
Summary
⢠Nuclear power plants design philosophy is based
on defence-in-depth (DiD), which ensure safety,
⢠During the occurrence of a seismic event, the
philosophy of seismic evaluation based design of
SSCs of NPPs is to minimise the radiation leakage
