Initiating Events for Multi-Reactor Plant Sites

  • 1. Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)

Description

Inherent in the design of modular reactors is the increased likelihood of events that initiate at a single reactor affecting another reactor. Because of the increased level of interactions between reactors, it is apparent that the Probabilistic Risk Assessments (PRAs) for modular reactor designs need to specifically address the increased interactions and dependencies.
