Generic framework for IPE back-end (level 2) analysis. Volume 3: BWR implementation guidelines. Final report, October 1991

A methodology has been developed to support utilities performing Individual Plant Examination (IPE) back-end analyses. The methodology consists of severe accident progression logic models with implementation guidelines for typical Light Water Reactor (LWR) nuclear power plants. The guidelines address how these logic models can be applied for the plant under examination when using existing severe accident analyses. Also, the generic framework complements EPRI's MAAP computer program, a deterministic severe accident analysis code, by providing a logic model for evaluating containment response to postulated severe accident loads, plant damage state binning criteria and other probabilistic portions of IPE back-end analysis.
