Conference ·
OSTI ID:5983451

This paper summarizes the systemic event tree methodology employed in the IREP. The analysis steps required to construct a set of event trees which model core meltdown accident sequences initiated by a variety of LOCA and transient initiating events are discussed. Analysis of the emergency procedures the plant operators follow during a given accident sequence is also discussed.
