Summary
REGDOC-2.5.2, Design of Reactor Facilities, sets out requirements and guidance for new licence applications for water-cooled reactor facilities. It establishes a set of comprehensive design requirements and guidance that are risk informed and align with accepted international codes and practices.
This document provides criteria pertaining to the safe design of new water-cooled reactor facilities. All aspects of the design are taken into account, and multiple levels of defence are promoted in design considerations. To the extent practicable, the requirements and guidance provided herein are technology neutral with respect to water-cooled reactor facilities. An applicant or licensee may put forward a case to demonstrate that the intent of a requirement is addressed by other means and demonstrated with supportable evidence.
REGDOC-2.5.2, Design of Reactor Facilities, Version 2.1, supersedes both REGDOC-2.5.2, Design of Reactor Facilities: Nuclear Power Plants, which was published in May 2014, and RD-367, Design of Small Reactor Facilities, which was published in June 2011.
