OSTI ID:6660989
An analysis was performed to demonstrate the ability of the Exposure Index (EI) correlations used in the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS) (NUREG-1437) to predict consequences associated with atmospheric releases from postulated nuclear power plant accidents. The values for early and latent fatalities, total dose, and expected costs that were predicted from El values were compared to tho generated with the Calculation of Reactor Accident Consequences 2 Staff Version'' (CRAC2S) computer code (NUREG/CR-5264). The results showed that. in all cases, the El comlations provided reasonable and conservative estimates for the consequences calculated by CRAC2S.
