SAFETY IN NUCLEAR PROPULSION PLANTS

LA SURETE DES SYSTEMES DE PROPULSION NUCLEAIRE

The general problem of safety in nuclear boilers for the propulsion of ships depends essentially on the solutions adopted for the protection of the personnel and the population from the potential dangers, associated with the use of nuclear energy. The steps taken to ensure safe operation are described. Utilization of leak-proof shields and barriers against contamination and the methods and means used to justify these arrangements are successively discussed. It is concluded that nuclear propulsion boilers are safe. The public remains to be persuaded of the validity of this analysis.
