REQUIREMENTS FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (NPP) SITE SELECTION
2026-03-10 22:20:00 / News

The document defines the following key areas:
🏗 1. Requirements for selecting the NPP site
• The site is selected based on engineering-geological, hydrological, seismological, and radiation-hygienic studies.
• Seismic hazards, groundwater conditions, and natural risk factors are taken into account.
🌍 2. Assessment of natural hazards
• The potential impact of earthquakes, floods, strong winds, snow avalanches, and other natural phenomena is analyzed.
• Seismic activity and tectonic faults are studied separately.
🏭 3. Assessment of technological hazards
• The impact of facilities with explosion risks, industrial enterprises, and transport routes is analyzed.
• Safe distances are established for hazardous facilities located near the NPP.
🌱 4. Environmental monitoring
• Environmental conditions are regularly monitored throughout the entire operational period of the NPP.
• All monitoring results are recorded continuously.
👥 5. Population protection measures
• Protection and evacuation plans for the population around the NPP are developed.
• Transport infrastructure capable of ensuring evacuation must be available.
⚠️ Important:
NPP sites must not be located in areas with active tectonic faults, high groundwater levels, or high seismic activity.
📑 Compliance with these requirements is essential for ensuring nuclear and radiation safety, as well as protecting the population and the environment.
