The Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate is developing a new methodology for the construction of scenarios for radiological consequence analysis as part of its SITE-94 performance assessment project. SITE-94 involves the incorporation of site specific data from the Aespoe site into a performance assessment (PA) of a hypothetical high-level waste repository. This paper describes a systems analysis approach that has been developed based on the concept of organizing all the events and processes which need to be taken account of in PA into a process system and a much smaller residual group which are used to generate scenarios. The methodology used for developing scenarios, producing calculation cases and addressing the various types of uncertainty involved in PA consequence analysis is described.
