THEORETICAL POSSIBILITIES AND CONSEQUENCES OF MAJOR ACCIDENTS IN LARGE NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
>Assuming a typical power reactor of 500 tMw in a characteristic location, theoreticai calculations were made of the effects of the worst possible reactor accidents. Both personal and property damage as a result of the initial accident and the subsequent fission product release are evaluated. The possibility of a catastrophic reactor accident was also evaluated and found to be extremely unlikely. (D.E.B.)
