N Reactor limited-scope probabilistic risk assessment

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7048432· OSTI ID:7048432
This document reports the results of a Limited-Scope Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) of N Reactor operation. The study has a three-fold purpose: support the overall N Reactor Confinement Effectiveness Study intended to provide a basis for comparison between a standard nuclear plant with containment and the N Reactor with confinement; provide early and conservative estimates of radiological risk from operation of N Reactor, using the best information available currently to assist decision makers as they examine questions pertaining to continued N Reactor operation; and identify the accident sequences that are principal contributors to radiological risk so that resources for the current full-scope PRA can be focused on analysis of these sequences. 66 refs., 49 figs., 23 tabs.
