effects
• Multiple facilities / activities
at one site
• Cases where resources
are shared
• Human factors in accident
conditions

Requirements for Design of NPPs
(SSR 2/1)
• to be implemented by
the designer to fulfill the
fundamental safety
functions with the
appropriate level of
defence in depth
• to be used by the
reviewer of the design
(e.g. Safety Authority) to

Revision of Design SR (SSR 2/1) after
the Fukushima Daiichi Accident (1/3)
Defence in Depth (DiD)
• Reinforcement of the independence of DiD
provisions, in particular between levels 3 and 4
Margins
• Stressing the need for margins to avoid cliff
edge effects. For items that ultimately prevent
large or early releases, margins are required
also for hazards more severe than those
selected for the design basis
16
IAEA
Revision of Design SR (SSR 2/1) after
the Fukushima Daiichi Accident (2/3)
Multi-unit site
• In a multi-unit site, each plant unit is required to have
its own safety systems and safety features for DEC
Heat transfer to the UHS
• Reinforced capabilities for heat transfer to the UHS.
Alternative heat sink or different access is required if
heat transfer cannot be ensured in conditions
generated by hazards more severe than those
selected for the design basis
17
IAEA
Revision of Design SR (SSR 2/1) after

etc.) to enable the use of non permanent equipment
Power supply
• Reinforced capabilities for power supply in DECs
Spent fuel pool
• Additional measures for spent fuel pool
instrumentation, cooling and maintaining inventory
