Conference · · Nucl. Mater. Manage. Annu. Meet. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6236763
In the aftermath of Chernobyl, major initiatives were undertaken in the area of nuclear safety. However, such initiatives do no take into full consideration the potential consequences resulting from acts of radiological sabotage. Two approaches for assessing the potential consequences of radiological releases due to sabotage are discussed. First, where qualitative assessments can be made by analysts knowledgeable of the facility and its operations, criteria for ranking the facility are described. Second, in cases where more specific information is required, quantitative criteria are suggested.
