INTERIM REPORT ON REACTOR HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRESSURIZED WATER REACTOR PLANT AT SHIPPINGPORT, PENNSYLVANIA

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4292911
An evaluation of the external radiation hazards associated with the PWR plant is presented. In an analysis of reactor accidents it is pointed out that the only situation involving release of significant quantities of radioactivity to the plant container is a primary loop break. These breaks are considered from the standpoint of small, medium, and major defects and include examinations of hazards to surrounding areas due to radioactivity from the prirnary coolant, and those arising from release of the core-contained fission products through container breach.
