Quantification and uncertainty analysis of source terms for severe accidents in light water reactors (QUASAR). Part 1: methodology and program plan. Volume 1
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5358074
The methodological framework and program plan for systematic quantification and propagation of uncertainties in radiological source terms for light water reactors are presented. The QUASAR methodology is based on detailed sensitivity analysis of the Source Term Code Package (STCP), followed by a systematic uncertainty analysis on the most sensitive parameters/variables, and phenomenological issues related to prediction of radiological releases to the environment.
