Role of the Regulator in Assuring Safety of Nuclear Installations is the first volume in a set of titles that analyzes the full spectrum of nuclear safety. It summarizes the latest information in international safety standards and conventions for nuclear energy facilities with an introduction into the importance of regulatory oversight, the latest international safety standards and conventions, including the European Commission, IAEA, WENRA and HERCA safety standards, along with safeguarding agreements. Subsequent chapters dive into the role of local governments and regulators. The book concludes with a case study demonstrating regulatory decision-making in practice.

This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, regulators, design engineers and operators within the nuclear energy sector who want to understand the consequences of nuclear accidents that are not bound within national borders.
