Nuclear Facility Safety Analysis. Safety analysis reports document the analysis and the potential consequences of accidents and abnormal occurrences at nuclear facilities. For those facilities which process, store, and handle plutonium and other fissile materials, nuclear criticality safety analysis is a required element of the facility safety analysis report. The process includes the identification of hazards in the facility(including nuclear criticality safety hazards), the identification and development of potential scenarios involving nuclear criticality concerns, the development of failure modes and the potential effects of the accident, and the consequences of the accident. 1, record 4, English, - nuclear%20facility%20safety%20analysis
