heal.abstract	The aim of the thesis is to assess the risk of siting nuclear reactors in caverns and to search the literature for cases in which nuclear reactors have been constructed below the surface of the earth. In the first part of the thesis, a literature review of cases of nuclear reactors that have been built, partially or entirely, underground is carried out. More specific, the characteristics of three well-known underground nuclear power plants, located in Europe and that they were built in the decades of 1950 and 1960 are presented. The three cases are in Agesta in Sweden, in Chooz in France and in Lucens in Switzerland. In the second part of the thesis, an attempt is made to carry out a simplified risk assessment of the operation of a nuclear power plant in an underground environment. The system under study is the underground research nuclear reactor located in Halden, Norway. Firstly, a literature review is carried out regarding the subject of risk assessment and the methods used in risk assessment and risk analysis of various systems, such as the Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). Then, a detailed description of the underground nuclear reactor at Halden is given. Afterwards, using the Fault Tree Analysis method, the Fault Tree is constructed, with the main event being a radioactive pollution, which is then analyzed. Finally, the results and the conclusions that emerged from this thesis are presented, as well as suggestions on what the next research steps should be, on such a contemporary and interesting subject as the use of underground works for locating nuclear reactors.	en
