| Description: | Site selection indicates the practice of new facility location, both for business and government. It involves measuring the needs of a new project against the merits of potential locations. The practice came of age during the 20th century, as governments and corporate operations expanded to new geographies on a national and international scale. This chapter describes the technical requirements to be considered in the selection of a site for a nuclear power plant. The design and operation of the nuclear power plant depend on the site characteristics, the site-derived risks have to be considered in the plant design basis, and the site itself has to bear the risks and detriments coming from the plant. The design has to cope with expected extreme natural phenomena and human induced events without impairing the operational safety of the plant. The site has to provide needed requirements such as rejected and decay heat sinks, availability of electrical power supplies, good communications and effective emergency management, including the evacuation of nearby residents. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) authorizes the Agency to establish safety standard for the protection of health, life, and property in the development and application of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and the fundamental safety objective is to protect people and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. Environmental impact assessment" (EIA) is usually used when applied to actual projects by individuals or companies. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers consider the environmental impacts when deciding whether or not to proceed with a project. Licensing Process of Nuclear Installations, Conceptual Clarifications, and IAEA approach to site evaluation were also discussed in this presentation. |
