On the basis of the principles included in the Fundamental Safety Principles, IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SF-1, this Safety Requirements publication establishes requirements applicable to the design of nuclear power plants. It covers the design phase and provides input for the safe operation of the power plant. It elaborates on the safety objective, safety principles and concepts that provide the basis for deriving the safety requirements that must be met for the design of a nuclear power plant. Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Applying the safety principles and concepts; 3. Management of safety in design; 4. Principal technical requirements; 5. General plant design; 6. Design of specific plant systems.

This Safety Guide provides recommendations and guidance on how to meet the requirements established in Specific Safety Requirements No. SSR-2/1 and in General Safety Requirements No. GSR Part 4 for the identification of structures, systems and components (SSCs) important to safety in nuclear power plants and for their classification on the basis of their function and safety significance. This Safety Guide is intended primarily for use by organizations involved in the design of nuclear power plants, as well as by regulatory bodies and their technical support organizations. The Safety Guide can also be applied to other nuclear installations subject to appropriate adjustments relevant to the specific design of the type of the facility being considered.

This book tells the story of Chet Holifield, a poor Arkansas farmboy who became a crucial leader in the U.S. House of Representatives during America's postwar years. It describes his 32 years in Congress (from 1943 to 1974) and how he became known as "Mr. Atomic Energy." The book details Holifield's work with the House-Senate Joint Committee on Atomic Energy (JCAE) and the House Committee on Government Operations. Discussions focus on his opposition to military control of the atom, including his influence on: the May-Johnson bill, the Atomic Energy Act of 1946, and Truman's 1950 decision to develop the atomic bomb. The study also looks at Holifield's actions to develop national energy security. It concentrates on his prediction (years before the 1973 OPEC-Arab oil embargo) that a domestic energy crisis would occur, and leads into Holifield's encouragement of energy research and development and his leadership for programs to use atomic energy peacefully in medicine, food processing, agriculture, and environmental protection. Finally, the book shows the importance of Holifield's work with Government Operations. It centers on significant actions, such as his help in creating three cabinet-level departments--Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Defense--and his committee's consideration of more than sixty Presidential reorganization plans for the Executive Branch. This book serves as an excellent tribute to a man of an era now passed. It will bring to light Holifield's importance as a statesman, legislator, and role model for Congress. Chet Holifield will appeal to students and scholars of history, government, and political science, as well as anyone who wants to know more about the true legends who have served our country.
