Methodology for the relative risk assessment in the LDF safety analysis report
This document provides the methodology used for the relative risk assessment performed in the LDF Safety Analysis Report. The safety analysis for a facility of the hazard level of the LDF Complex (Buildings 490L, 492 are low hazard) should be mostly qualitative. This was the approach taken for the LDF risk assessment, where qualitative descriptors were assigned to event consequences and frequencies. The event consequences and frequencies were then combined using a risk matrix to obtain an assessment of the relative risk presented by each event to LDF workers and to the public. The development of the risk matrices is the main subject of this report. The matrices have been applied in the LDF SAR (LLNL, 1997).
