Nuclear installation ( Eng. Nuclear installation, nuclear facility ) - any installation on which radioactive or fissile materials are produced, processed or handled in quantities at which nuclear safety issues must be taken into account [1] [2] [3] .
Thus, nuclear facilities include nuclear power plants and other facilities with energy reactors , as well as facilities with industrial , experimental and research reactors , critical and subcritical nuclear facilities, radioactive waste storage facilities , plants and complexes for uranium enrichment and nuclear fuel production, ships and other nuclear powered vehicles and many other facilities.
Moreover, in various international treaties and other documents definitions of the concept of “nuclear installation” can be used, narrowing the circle of objects falling under it. For example, only civilian objects can be attributed to nuclear facilities [4] , and reactors used in vehicles [5] [6] are also often excluded from the concept. The international organizations give the narrowest definition to the concept of “nuclear installation” in the 1994 Convention on Nuclear Safety — a civilian nuclear power plant and facilities for the processing and processing of radioactive materials located on the territory of this nuclear power plant and directly related to its operation [7] .
