Draft Implementing Decree on the requirements for nuclear installation design

Based on authorising provisions in the new Atomic Act (notified under 2015/0040/CZ), the draft implementing decree governs:

1) the requirements for the contents of documentation for licensed activities,

2) a list of safety functions that must be performed by nuclear
installations and classification of the functions into categories
according to their relevance to nuclear safety,

3) safety classes and the criteria for classifying selected equipment into these classes,

4) the method of ensuring defence-in-depth, and

5) the content of the requirements for nuclear installation design
referred to in § 46(1), (2)(a), (b), (e), (g), (i), (k), (l), and (m),
and (3) of the Atomic Act.

As regards the implementation of § 46(8) of the Atomic Act, the implementing decree lays down detailed requirements for

1) the designing of nuclear installations in a manner ensuring
nuclear safety, radiation protection, radiation situation monitoring,
radiological emergency management, security and non-proliferation of
nuclear weapons throughout their life cycle,

2) nuclear installation design in terms of

a) compliance with safety objectives,

b) compliance with the principles of the safe use of nuclear energy,

c) resilience and protection of nuclear installations against the
hazards resulting from the characteristics of the location where the
nuclear installation is sited and from external influences,

d) prevention, resilience and protection of the nuclear installation against internal influences,

e) requirements for selected equipment in terms of the safety functions to the performance of which it contributes,

f) compliance with the requirements for the technical means of radiation protection assurance,

g) compliance with the requirements for radiological emergency management,

h) compliance with the requirements for security, and

3) the design basis and proven methods, procedures and technology in the design process
