philosophy of the role of chemical

process safety in relation to NRClicensed materials. It sets forth the basic

information needed to properly evaluate

chemical process safety. It describes

plausible methods of identifying and

evaluating chemical hazards and

assessing the adequacy of the chemical

safety of the proposed equipment and

facilities. Examples of equipment and

methods commonly used to prevent

and/or mitigate the consequences of

chemical incidents are discussed in this

document.

NUREG–1601 highlights the

importance of performing an adequate

analysis of chemical hazards in

processing licensed material at fuel

cycle facilities, so as to reduce the

potential for radiological and

nonradiological exposures to workers

and the public and to minimize releases

to the environment. NUREG-1601 is not

a substitute for the regulations, and

compliance is not a requirement. This

guidance document describes a general

philosophy of the role of chemical

process safety regarding NRC-licensed

material.

NUREG–1601 is also available

electronically by visiting NRC’s Home
