Nuclear safety can be understood as accident prevention in nuclear installations, via its systems and its human resources, and the mitigation of risks and consequences if an accident should occur.

Accident analysis and management focusses on understanding the causes and consequences of an accident at a nuclear facility, and on how to manage an accident through prevention and mitigation.

Nuclear facilities rely on a robust electrical system to power primary and back-up systems required to safely respond to a wide variety of challenging events.
