This Safety Guide provides comprehensive recommendations on the design of nuclear installations to safeguard against the impacts of external events, excluding earthquakes. It adheres to the stringent safety requirements established for the design aspects of nuclear installations exposed to external stimuli. The guide offers practical methodologies and procedures for defining an appropriate design for a nuclear facility, considering site hazard evaluation and the layout of the installation. Its primary objective is to provide design guidance, particularly in safeguarding structures, systems, and components critical to safety against design-basis external events. Additionally, the guide provides recommendations on selecting beyond-design-basis external events to assess and verify safety margins, ensuring the highest levels of safety in nuclear operations.

The guide emphasizes the importance of conducting thorough risk assessments and considering a wide range of potential external events, including natural disasters, human error, and acts of terrorism. It provides detailed guidance on developing and implementing safety measures, such as reinforced structures, redundant systems, and emergency response plans, to mitigate the risks associated with these events.
Furthermore, the guide discusses the significance of maintaining regular safety audits and inspections to ensure that the design and implementation of safety measures are effective and up-to-date. It encourages collaboration between stakeholders, including regulatory bodies, operators, and designers, to promote a culture of safety and continuous improvement in nuclear installations.
In conclusion, this Safety Guide is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the design, construction, and operation of nuclear installations. It provides a comprehensive framework for ensuring the safety and security of these facilities against external events, while promoting a culture of safety and continuous improvement.
