Description
Nuclear reactors have a longstanding history of safe operation at sea, with approximately 12,000 reactor years of experience, underscoring their exceptionally high safety standards. This track record suggests that Floating Nuclear Power Plants (FNPPs) are capable of conforming to current international safety and environmental codes and requirements. Nonetheless, the unique challenges and site-specific risks posed by the marine environment, such as sea state conditions and the possibility of sinking or capsizing, necessitate careful consideration and analysis. The paper examines the applicability of IAEA’s Safety Assessment, Design and Security Requirements to Floating Reactors. The IAEA Safety and Security Standards, which represent international consensus on best international practices to achieve a high level of safety and security, will be used in assessing the safety and security of SMR designs for FNPPs.
