Safety Design Criteria for Nuclear Facilities
NUCLEAR SAFETY BASIS
The Office of Nuclear and Facility Safety Policy is responsible for the safety design
criteria for DOE Category 1, 2 and 3 nuclear facilities
and explosives facilities. These nuclear safety design
criteria require early coordination between the design
process and hazard analyses so that structures, systems
and components necessary to prevent, mitigate or control
hazards are identified and established early in the design
process for new facilities or major modifications to existing
facilities. A Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis (PDSA)
is required prior to procurement of materials or components,
or the beginning of construction. The PDSA must show how
the nuclear safety design criteria are satisfied in the
design.
