Abstract
This chapter outlines modern methods for assessing and ensuring the reliability and safety of nuclear power plants (NPP), describes in detail potential hazard factors that may occur during a nuclear accident at a NPP, and what measures to take to prevent such occurrences. Much attention is paid to probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) of NPPs. The principles of the ideology and practice of ensuring and regulating the safety of NPPs are systemically formulated. The types, indicators, and safety analyses currently used are considered, and their classifications are proposed. We will consider the history and principles of nuclear safety including deterministic and probabilistic approach (PSA, LPSA), active-passive safety systems, etc.
