ANALYSIS OF THE MAXIMUM CREDIBLE INCIDENT FOR A REACTOR OF THE PARTIALLY CONTAINED SWIMMING POOL TYPE (in Italian)

OSTI ID:4133705

An analysis of the order of magnitude of the maximum possible incident and of the consequences for a swimming pool reactor is presented. The Forbes and Corben theory is used with the adoption of approximate theories derived from preceding experience. The two incidents discussed are loss of the water in the pool and a nuclear excursion. The factors of meteorological dispersion and the release of fission products are considered in the analysis.
