Title: Proceedings of the workshop on a containment performance design objective

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6820406

The ''Containment Performance Design Objective Workshop'' was designed to obtain a broad range of knowledgeable views concerning the issues in the development and implementation of a containment performance design objective (CPDO). It was a discussion workshop, involving invited experts representing a broad range of viewpoints, and drawn from utilities, reactor vendors, architect engineers, universities, national laboratories, and public interest groups. The participants were requested to review background information concerning the safety goals and their status, a description of CPDO options selected for evaluation, an outline of an implementation approach and recognized issues of CPDO structure and implementation. The general objective of the workshop was to generate information that could be used in the NRC's study and decision process concerning the formulation of a containment performance design objective. The participants' views were obtained on specific CPDO options and issues that were presented to the Workshop and new ones that emerged during the discussion. An attempt was also made to identify areas of consensus emerging from the discussion.
