Analysis of hypothetical severe core damage accidents for the Zion pressurized-water reactor

Creators

Description

This report describes analyses of the response of a Pressurized-Water Reactor at the Zion Plant to hypothetical core-meltdown sequences. The analyses consider the progression of core meltdown, containment response, and consequences to the public for many specific accident sequences within the categories of Loss of Coolant Accidents (LOCAs), transient-initiated accidents, and containment-bypass accidents. The report does not deal with the probability of the accidents occurring. Strategies for accident management and mitigation of consequences are suggested. Uncertainties in the calculated plant responses are described
