Reactor risk reference document: Appendices A-I, Draft for comment

OSTI ID:6613982

This document discusses the risks of severe accidents in a set of commercial nuclear power plants. This risk is characterized by the types and frequencies of accidents leading to severe core damage, the performance of containment structures under severe accident loadings, possible radioactive releases into the environment if the containment were to fail, and the offsite consequences of such releases. A discussion of the methods used to calculate risk is provided and the principal results of the analyses of the studied plants is summarized. (JDB)
