17、nt forSafety Analysis Reports for Research Reactors,” ANSI0ANS-15.21-2012.!The American Nuclear SocietyANS!Standards Committee established Subcom-mittee ANS-15 in the fall of 1970 with the task of preparing a standard for theoperation of research reactors. In January 1972, this charter was expanded

18、toinclude the task of preparing standards for all aspects of research reactor needs.To implement this enlarged responsibility, Subcommittee ANS-15 established anumber of working groups to develop standards for consideration and comple-mentary action. This standard addresses itself to the format and

19、content ofsafety analysis reports SARs! for research reactors.Working Group ANS-15.21 was formed in 1991 to develop ideas and conceptsleading to a standard for guidance on the format and content of a researchreactor SAR, taking into account available guidance and recognizing that manyresearch reacto

20、r SARs have successfully presented descriptive and analyticalinformation through the use of a simple format and limited content.This standard recognizes the merits of the historical guidanceRegulatory Guide1.70, “Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for NuclearPower Plants”!, the w

21、ork by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission on guid-ance for nonpower reactors NUREG-1537, “Guidelines for Preparing and Re-viewing Applications for the Licensing of Non-Power Reactors”!, the work of theU.S. Department of Energy Order 5480.23, “Nuclear Safety Analysis Reports”!,and the Internation

22、al Atomic Energy Agency work that encompasses safetyanalysis documentation Safety Series 35!.It is recognized that a power station has huge and variable sources of storedenergy, dedication to highly reliable on-line power, massive containment andenergy control features, and extremely harsh equipment

23、 operating environ-ments. Research reactors, on the other hand, are small, noninvasive facilitieswith low fission product inventories, minimal stored energy, and simple equip-ment environments, resulting in small risk compared to nuclear power plants.This standard recognizes the considerably reduced

24、 risks, markedly simpler sys-tems, and unique mission of research reactors. A graded approach to content,level of description, and level of analysis is thus very important. It is recognizedthat it is neither necessary nor possible to apply the same degree of descriptionor analysis for all systems or

25、 events. Where this standard uses terms such as“appropriate” or “as necessary,” these are to be interpreted as meaning suchvariation in the degree of description and analysis.Nuclear critical assemblies facilities operating in the context of ANSI0ANS-1-2000 R2012!, “Conduct of Critical Experiments”!

26、 often have flexible cores andgenerally do not have coolant systems, fission product inventories, radioactivewaste streams, or confinement systems. Therefore, many of the requirements ofthis standard are not appropriate for nuclear critical assembly facilities, and it isbeyond the scope of the worki

27、ng group to include alternative guidance.Since the standard provides guidance on how facility descriptive information ispresented and does not introduce new criteria for any aspect of design, construc-tion, or operation, a very limited definition section is included.SARs are used extensively by anal

28、ysts, operations staff, review groups, andlicensing and chartering agencies in support of the research reactors uniquemission. The SAR provides the central repository of information used for per-forming analysis, determining bounding conditions, and establishing the foun-dation of technical specific

29、ations.iIn this process of creating standards against the background of established andvaried practices in many operating facilities, it is important to consider thefollowing:1! It is not intended that the standard be used as a demand model forbackfitting purposes;2! The standard should be a vital a

30、id for the new owner-agency;3! The standard should be helpful for the facility undergoing change ormodification;4! Thoughtful use of the standard by the industry should ease the burden oflicensing and chartering agencies.It is affirmed further that the use of any standard of performance, conduct, or

31、excellence is volitional. The decision to use a standard is a management matter,presumably based on technical advisement.Guidance may be found in the following supplementaryAmerican National Stan-dards developed for research reactors:ANSI0ANS-15.1-2007, “The Development of Technical Specifications f

32、or Re-search Reactors”;ANSI0ANS-15.2-1999 R2009!, “Quality Control for Plate-Type Uranium-Aluminum Fuel Elements”;ANSI0ANS-15.4-2007, “Selection and Training of Personnel for Research Reactors”;ANSI0ANS-15.7-1977 R1986!withdrawn!, “Research Reactor Site Evaluation”;ANSI0ANS-15.8-1995 R2005!, “Qualit

35、e documents and other standards that have beensuperseded or withdrawn at the time the standard is applied. A statement hasbeen included in the references section that provides guidance on the use ofreferences.This standard does not incorporate the concepts of generating risk-informedinsights, perfor

36、mance-based requirements, or a graded approach to quality as-surance. The user is advised that one or more of these techniques could enhancethe application of this standard.The working group included a broad spectrum of expertise in research reactoroperations, experiment and reactor analysis, SARs,

37、and interactions with char-tering and licensing agencies.
