AERB publishes the Safety Standard on "Civil Engineering Structures important to Safety of Nuclear Facilities". The Standard was approved by the Board in its meeting no. 140 held on Feb 28, 2023.
This standard supersedes the earlier version of the standard published in 1998. The revised standard brings out additional requirements for ensuring basic safety functions
under extreme external events (beyond design basis) and severe accident conditions; and considerations for concurrent and/or sequential hazards.
The revision also addresses requirements related to nuclear facilities other than Nuclear Power Plants and brings out the graded approach to be followed while applying the provisions.
