QUALIFICATION AND RE-EVALUATION

The design and re-evaluation process for structures, systems and components of research reactors in relation to external events consists of the following steps  

Evaluation of the design basis of the facility in relation to external events Evaluation of loads and other induced effects of external events on each structure, system and component  

Evaluation of other loads and effects related to normal operation, normal environmental conditions (concurrent with the given external event), anticipated operational occurrences and accident conditions (if any, concurrent with the given external event)  

Selection of acceptable design or re-evaluation approaches (for each structure, system and component and each external event), among the following
