Safety assessment guide

The ICI procedures required the use of a "safety assessment" guide sheet, which discussed overpressure protection equipment, electrical area classification, changes in alarms and trips, and other categories that might diminish the safety of the system. The guide sheet also had questions on the relevant codes of practice and specifications, questions on the materials of construction... 

In this guide, we will focus on the use of QRA in the safety assessment of acute hazards and episodic events only. 

PRA - probabilistic risk assessment/probabilistic safety assessment, synonymous with PSA. The PRA Procedures Guide is NUREG/CR-23(X). PRA was the original term but became probabilistic safety assessment to avoid the negative implication of risk. ... 

Guide for the Identification and Control of Exothermic Chemical Reactions" (TAA-GS-05 1994). A document in German by the Technischer Ausschuss fur Anlagensicherheit (Technical Committee for Plant Safety) of the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Reactor Safety. Addresses safety assessment of reactions during both normal operations and excursions, as well as selection and extent of measures to be adopted. An English translation of this document is provided on the CD-ROM included with this publication. 

The objective of the book is not to turn the reader into a specialist in thermal safety. It is to guide those who perform risk analysis of chemical processes, develop new processes, or are responsible for chemical production, to understand the thermal aspects of processes and to perform a scientifically founded-but practically oriented-assessment of chemical process safety. This assessment may serve as a basis for the optimization or the development of thermally safe processes. The methods presented are based on the author s long years of experience in the practice of safety assessment in industry and teaching students and professionals...

This Safety Guide identifies the key recommendations for carrying out the safety assessment and the independent verification. It provides detailed guidance in support of Ref. [1], particularly in the area of safety analysis. However, this does not include all the technical details which are available and reference is made to other IAEA publications on specific design issues and safety analysis methods. 

This Safety Guide does not include specific recommendations for the safety assessment of those plant systems for which dedicated Safety Guides exist. 

In the safety assessment of the design, consideration should be given to grid-plant interactions in relation to the required reliability of the power supply to the plant systems important to safety as discussed in detail in a specific IAEA Safety Guide. 

The conduct of the independent verification may largely follow the methods of the safety assessment discussed in Sections 2-4 of this Safety Guide. However, the scope of the independent verification could be narrower than the safety assessment since it would focus on the most significant safety issues and requirements, rather than all of them.
