Cost and safety margin assessment of the effects of design for combination of large LOCA and SSE loads

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5325861
This report assesses the effect on safety and cost of the requirements to combine loss-of-coolant-accident (LOCA) and safety-shutdown earthquakes (SSE) loads in the design of nuclear power plants. Analysis is limited mainly to plants recently completed or near completion, where current definitions of LOCA and SSE loading phenomena require or may require substantial modification to as-built or in-place structures and equipment.
