Title: Safety related
Post by: Rennhack on Nov 25, 2005, 02:13

In the regulatory arena, this term applies to systems, structures, components, procedures, and controls of a facility or process that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design-basis events. Their functionality ensures that key regulatory criteria, such as levels of radioactivity released, are met. Examples of safety related functions include shutting down a nuclear reactor and maintaining it in a safe shutdown condition.
