FOREWORD The International Atomic Energy Agency, recognizing the importance of the safety of the industry and desiring to promote an improving safety record, set up a programme in 1974 to give guidance to its Member States on the many aspects of the safety of nuclear power reactors. Under this Nuclear Safety Standards (NUSS) Programme, some 60 Codes and Safety Guides dealing with radiological safety were published in the IAEA Safety Series between 1978 and 1986. The NUSS Programme is so far limited to land based stationary plants with thermal neutron reactors designed for the production of power. The physical security of fissile and radioactive materials and of nuclear power plants as a whole is mentioned where appropriate but is not treated in detail. Non- radiological aspects of industrial safety and environmental protection are also not explicitly considered. In order to take account of lessons learned since the first publication of the NUSS Programme was issued, it was decided in 1986 to revise and reissue the Codes and Safety Guides. During the original development of these publications, as well as during the revision process, care was taken to ensure that all Member States, in particular those with active nuclear power programmes, could provide their input. Several independent reviews took place including a final one by the Nuclear Safety Standards Advisory Group (NUSSAG), an international group of representatives of national nuclear safety supervision bodies. The revised Codes were approved by the IAEA Board of Governors in June 1988. In the revision process new developments in technology and methods of analysis have been incorporated on the basis of international consensus. The Codes and Safety Guides are presented in such a form as to enable a Member State, should it so desire, to make their contents directly applicable to activities under its jurisdiction. Therefore, consistent with the accepted practice for codes and guides, 'shall' and 'should' statements are used to distinguish for the user between strict requirements and desirable options, respectively. The five Codes deal with the following topics: - Governmental organization - Siting - Design - Operation - Quality assurance.
