Abstract
The paper provides an overview of the regulatory design requirements for new reactors
addressing Single Failure Criterion (SFC) in accordance to international best-practices, particularly
considering the SCF relation to in-service testing, maintenance, repair, inspection and monitoring of
systems, structures and components important to safety.
The report [1] discusses the detailed comparison of the current SFC requirements and
guidelines published by the IAEA, WENRA, EUR and nuclear regulators in the United States,
United Kingdom, Russia, Korea, Japan, China and Finland. However, this paper presents the
summary of work from [1] and 2major examples from IAEA and WENRA and applications for
small and modular reactors.
