Nuclear Criticality Safety
When operations are performed on fissile materials outside nuclear reactor cores (storage facilities, laboratories, factories and transport), these operations present a particular risk: the risk of criticality. The nuclear criticality safety is the prevention of nuclear criticality accidents and the limitation of the consequences of such accidents they should occur.
This training provides basic knowledge on nuclear criticality safety, and concerns person responsible for design, fabrication or maintenance of nuclear criticality safety for a process or facility. These persons would be nuclear criticality safety specialists with the responsibilities of assessment, calculation or peer review of nuclear criticality safety documentation. Also, Individuals or bodies with responsibilities of oversight and regulation of facilities and processes.
Concerned area:
▪ fissile material transportation.
▪ fuel cycle plants (fuel manufacturing, recycling, etc).
▪ laboratories and fissile materials storage.
▪ reactor core in loading and unloading.
▪ plants permanently shut down or being dismantled
