Description
A Level 3 Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) has been performed for N Reactor, a Department of Energy production reactor. The phenomenological calculations made in support of the PRA with HECTR and MELCOR are presented in this report. These calculations are an integral part of the Level 2 PRA since they provide quantitative input to the Accident Progression Event Tree and Parametric Source Term Model. Without these calculations, gaps in the understanding of the phenomena that may occur at N Reactor would increase the uncertainty of the risk. These calculations include two transient accident sequences and several sensitivity studies dealing with issues ranging from hydrogen production to the mitigative effect of the banana wall
