Reactor safety study methodology applications program: Oconee results

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6597948
To determine the public risk due to light water reactors, the Reactor Safety Study (RSS) developed a methodology for evaluating nuclear reactor safety. The Reactor Safety Study Methodology Applications Program was divided into two principal tasks: systems analysis of engineered systems, and analysis of the accident processes. The study includes risk assessments of one boiling water reactor and three pressurized water reactor power plants. The plants, selected by the NRC, differ from the two plants studied in the RSS and are representative of current technology. Results for the second plant selected, the Oconee No. 3 PWR, are presented.
