| Description: | Site is the area containing the nuclear facility, defined by a boundary and under effective control of the Management. While Siting is the term used to describe the process to select where a nuclear installation is built and whether the decided location is suitable for it. Siting is one of the important decisions in the early stage of a planned nuclear energy project. The siting process is intended to select suitable locations for the envisaged nuclear installation such that its characteristics are compatible with available engineering protective measures for all natural and human induced hazards arising from external events, so that the necessary level of safety can be achieved. The selection and evaluation of a site suitable for a nuclear installation are crucial processes. They can significantly affect the costs, public acceptance and safety of the installation. Poor planning and lack of knowledge can lead to faulty decision-making and can cause major delays of the project. Siting is a multifaceted process, involving many types of site characteristics. Those characteristics can affect the safety of a nuclear installation over the whole period during which it is planned, situated, operated, and also demonstrate suitability of the site from a safety viewpoint. Site Survey, Regional Criteria, Screening Criteria, Ranking Criteria, and Site Evaluation Report were also discussed in this presentation. |
