OSTI ID:6258335
In many Probabilistic Risk Assessments (PRAs), loss of offsite power (LOOP) when a nuclear power plant is operating was found to be a significant contributor to core damage. The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of a loss of offsite power event that occurs while a PWR is shut down. The importance of such an analysis was recognized as part of a study to evaluate the core damage frequency due to a loss of decay heat removal capability during an outage. 5 refs., 1 fig.
