IEEE STANDARD

603-1998 - IEEE Standard Criteria for Safety Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations

Description: Minimum functional and design criteria for the power, instrumentation, and control portions of nuclear power generating station safety systems are established. The criteria are to be applied to those systems required to protect the public health and safety by functioning to mitigate the consequences of design basis events. The intent is to promote safe practices for design and evaluation of safety system performance and reliability. Although the standard is limited to safety systems, many of the principles may have applicability to equipment provided for safe shutdown, post-accident monitoring display instrumentation, preventative interlock features, or any other systems, structures, or equipment related to safety.
