kärnkraftsäkerheten
Kärnkraftsäkerheten, or nuclear safety, refers to the policies, regulations, and practices adopted to prevent accidental releases of radioactive materials from nuclear power plants and to mitigate the consequences of such releases should they occur. The core principle of nuclear safety is defense in depth, a multi-layered approach to safety that involves multiple independent barriers to prevent or contain radiation. These barriers include the fuel cladding, the reactor vessel, and the containment building.
The design of nuclear power plants incorporates passive and active safety systems. Passive systems rely on
