Role of the Regulator in Assuring Safety of Nuclear Installations is the first volume in a set of titles that analyses the full spectrum of nuclear safety. The consequences of nuclear accidents are not bound within national borders and therefore clear guidance must be given to governments on their role in nuclear safety. This volume summarizes the latest information in international safety standards and conventions for nuclear energy facilities.Beginning with an introduction into the importance of regulatory oversight, the book presents the latest international safety standards and conventions, including the European Commission, IAEA, WENRA and HERCA safety standards, as well as safeguarding agreements. Subsequent chapters then take a deep dive into the role of local government and the role of the regulator. The book concludes with a case study demonstrating regulatory decision making in practice. Role of the Regulator in Assuring Safety of Nuclear Installations is an essential resource for students, researchers, regulators, design engineers and operators within the nuclear energy sector.
