Sažetak
Nuclear power plants use fissile materials to produce energy in the form of heat, which is then converted to electricity in turbine generators. Radioactive materials are produced as a by-product of this process. Despite the fact that radioactive material can be beneficially used, such as in cancer therapy, they are generally harmful to health. Use of radioactive materials and control of the processes by which they are produced, must be strictly regulated to ensure nuclear safety. The major aim of nuclear safety culture is the achievement of proper operating conditions, reducing the risks that can lead to accidents and the prevention or mitigation of accident consequences. Combination of these activities should result in protection of workers, the public and the environment from unwanted radiation hazards. The basic scope of nuclear safety culture, including requirements and regulations, will be presented in this article.
