The system event tree is a key element in the comparison of light water reactors when considering Reactor Safety Study (RSS) factors such as risk and dominant accident sequences. The development of system event trees involves drawing on the RSS experience and adapting the methodology to reactor plants that may differ considerably, in system functions and interactions, from the RSS plants. This paper describes the methods for the general application of system event trees to light water reactors and is based on work done by Sandia Laboratories for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on the Reactor Safety Study Methodology Applications Program.
