A translation of the Deutsche Risikostudie Kernkraftwerke, this report assesses the risks due to accidents caused by the operation of nuclear power plants in the Federal Republic of Germany. The study, performed under the direction of the Federal Ministry for Research and Technology, is organized into two phases: the current report presents an overview of the investigations and results of the first phase (Phase A), whereby the probabilistic risk assessment methodology used in the American Reactor Safety Study (WASH-1400) is applied to the particular reactor system technology and siting conditions of the FRG; Phase B, planned primarily to intensify study of individual problem areas, will employ further methodological developments and will consider the current status of safety research.
