Reactor safety refers to the measures and protocols designed to prevent accidents and mitigate the consequences of any incidents in nuclear reactors. This includes the use of robust containment structures, redundant safety systems, and regular safety drills to ensure that operators are prepared for emergencies.
Key components of reactor safety include cooling systems, control rods, and emergency shutdown procedures. These elements work together to maintain stable conditions within the reactor and to quickly respond to any anomalies, ensuring the safety of both the facility and the surrounding environment.
