  • Abstract
    The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Nuclear Safety Standards Program is described. The program consists of codes of practice, describing safety objectives and broad requirements and safety guides describing means of implementing requirements of the codes. Procedures for developing codes and guides are described. Some of the technical points covered by three of the guides are covered. These guides address protection systems and related features, emergency electric power systems, and other safety-related instruments and control systems. Assistance in helping form U.S. policy on the issues addressed in IAEA codes and guides is requested.
