Design Data for Nuclear Power Plants

U.S. NRC Regulatory Guide 1.70, "Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants" specifies the following structure and content:

  1. General plant description
  2. Site characteristics (geography, demography, meteorology, hydrology, seismology)
  3. Design of structures, components, equipments, and systems
  4. Reactor (fuel, nuclear design, thermal and hydraulic design, reactor materials, reactivity control system)
  5. Reactor coolant system (vessel, piping, pumps, steam generators, valves, residual heat removal systems)
  6. Engineered safety features (materials, containment, emergency core cooling systems, habitability systems, fission product removal and control systems)
  7. Instrumentation and controls (reactor trip system, engineered safety systems, safe shutdown systems, safety-related displays)
  8. Electric power (offsite and onsite power systems)
  9. Auxiliary systems (fuel storage and handling, water systems, process systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, diesel generator systems)
  10. Steam and power conversion systems (turbine-generator, main steam supply system, condenser)
  11. Radioactive waste management
  12. Radiation protection
