The German codes and standards for the design of nuclear power plant components are the KTA Safety Standards. For comparison with international code activities, the following aspects are presented: organization and function of the German Nuclear Safety Standards Commission (KTA), present extent of standard activities, standards for metallic components, bases for the development of standards, comparison with international standards, and current standardization activities for advanced reactor types. As far as the Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR) is concerned, the designers of metallic components deal with the refinement of their SNR-300-specific design criteria. With respect to the High Temperature Reactor (HTR), all parties interested in the improvement of the HTR concepts cooperate in the preparation of KTA Safety Standards for metallic, ceramic and concrete components.
