Analysis of station blackout accidents for LWRs
- 1. Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM
Description
Station blackout, the loss of all AC power in a nuclear power plant is a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) unresolved safety issue. This paper summarizes station blackout accident sequence analyses conducted as part of a plan to resolve this issue. The results covered include: (a) core damage probabilities for four generic classes of plants, (b) factors most affecting these probabilities, (c) containment failure insights, and (d) examples of sensitivity analyses to cover other variations of plant design
