Probabilistic safety analysis. Interim report 1. [PWR; BWR]
This report summarizes work carried out during the first year of the Science Application, Inc. (SAI)/Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) contract on LWR probabilistic safety analysis. A large amount of useful source material was provided by the draft report of the Reactor Safety Study (WASH-1400), and much of the SAI activity during the past year was based upon the Study's methods, data, and results. The performance of a sensitivity analysis to determine which systems contribute significantly to overall risk in a BWR is analyzed. Consequence analyses are presented for a PWR and a BWR for each of the accident categories given in WASH-1400, followed by the SAI accident sequence calculations. The development of the BAM code for analyzing logic diagrams and its comparison with existing codes is then presented. The final chapter describes a failure data gathering activity necessary to the reliability analyses conducted.
