Fission product source terms for the LWR loss-of-coolant accident

Creators

Description

The principal objectives of the fission product release program currently in progress at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are to determine the quantity of radiologically significant fission products released from defected light water reactor (LWR) fuel rods under accident conditions, identify their chemical and physical forms, and interpret the results for use as input to computer models of postulated spent fuel transportation accidents (SFTAs) and loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs). The purpose of the paper is to summarize the source term models which have been developed for cesium and iodine by this program, and to demonstrate the application of the source term models to the analysis of cesium and iodine release during a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) LOCA
