The safe operation of nuclear power facilities depends on effective safety management. Planning, organizing, managing, and overseeing people and work activities with the goal of achieving a high level of safety performance is what safety management entails. Achieving excellent quality in all safety-related activities and fostering a strong safety culture are the overarching objectives of safety management.
To ensure that the operation of a nuclear power plant complies with the latest damage prevention criteria in science and technology, high quality safety management is especially important. Therefore, the operator is required to set up an efficient safety management system that complies with current laws and international standards.
