The Government of India has issued the Atomic Regulatory Board of India Safety Standards. This Standard describes the analysis and design requirements of civil engineering structures important to safety in order to achieve safe operation of NFs and to protect personnel, public, and environment from radiological, industrial and fire hazards. It also sets out requirements to be fulfilled during construction, commissioning, operation decommissioning as well as margin assessment of civil engineering structures.
The provisions of this standard are applicable to civil engineering structures of Nuclear Facilities. In some instances, the requirements are set to apply to Nuclear Power Plants, but they may be applied to other NFs suitably, using a graded approach based upon the potential for radiological impact.
