Probabilistic analysis of LOCA. Annual report for FY 1976
Description
The purpose of this program is to develop and recommend statistical methods applicable for estimating the probability distribution of the Peak Clad Temperature (PCT) for a postulated Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA). The work performed during FY76 was as follows: (1) Derivation of the PCT distribution using the Response Surface (RS) technique for the blowdown portion of a LOCA assuming seven variables and a sparse nodalization RELAP model. (2) Demonstration of some important properties of the Monte Carlo (MC) and Linear Error Propagation (LEP) methods and of the potential sensitivity of the PCT distribution to input distribution assumptions. (3) Development of improvements in the Response Surface technique. This report describes the work performed from July 1975 through June 1976
