WASH-1400: quantifying the uncertainties

Journal Article · · Nucl. Technol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5273873
; ;
The purpose of this paper is to focus on the limitations of the WASH-1400 analysis in estimating the risk from light water reactors (LWRs). This assessment attempts to modify the quantification of the uncertainty in and estimate of risk as presented by the RSS (reactor safety study). 8 refs.
