Title: Impact of the proposed core melt policy

Conference ·
OSTI ID:181868
 [1]
  1. Bureau of Nuclear Engineering, Trenton, NJ (United States)

Recent encounters with FEMA/NRC and New Jersey have focused our attention on the proposed severe core melt policy. Currently, these federal agencies make the supposition that an automatic evacuation out to 5 miles upon a General Emergency declaration would provide greater protection to the public than an independent grounded assessment which would include the option to shelter. This policy appears to be contrary to EPA-400 and supportable decision making. This talk discusses the policy.
