Assuring Nuclear Safety during Operation of Nuclear Power Plants is the third volume in a set of titles that analyses the full spectrum of nuclear safety. Even though the most important safety analyses are performed already in the design phase and presented in the Final Safety Analyses Report (FSAR), safety analyses continue throughout the life of the plant as FSAR updates, either because new scientific evidence is emerging, or modifications are being implemented. This book provides instructional information to assure safety during the operation of a nuclear power plant. After an introduction to the important of operational safety, operating procedures and operational limits and conditions are presented in detail, including normal and emergency operating procedures and preventive, corrective and periodic maintenance actions. Subsequent chapters describe how to carry out in-depth safety analyses, incorporating how to optimize radiation protection. Finally, severe accident management strategies are discussed, as well as emergency assessments and procedures. Assuring Nuclear Safety during Operation of Nuclear Power Plants is an essential resource for nuclear operators, students and researchers needing guidance in how to safely operate a nuclear power plant.

Dusic, Milorad
From 1984 - 1988, Dr Dusic was the Chief Nuclear Safety Inspector in Slovenia. During this period he led the initiative to create the first independent regulatory body in the region which was then formed in 1987. From 1988 - 2012 he worked in the IAEA Department of Nuclear Safety, responsible for the development of safety standards in the field of nuclear safety, education of nuclear professionals worldwide (more than 100 training courses and workshops), was leading various IAEA safety review teams (OSART, ASSET, ASCOT) and provided assistance to embarking countries through the IAEA Technical Cooperation projects. In 2021 he retired holding the position P5 of the Senior Safety Assessment Specialist. From 2012 until now, he is the owner and director of Nuccon GmbH (www.nuccon.eu) involved in safety assessments of design changes at Krsko NPP, the EU NARSIS Research Project and education of the EU Clearinghouse members in nuclear safety matters.
