Methods for determining the cost of fuel failures in nuclear power plants. Final report
Description
A study has been made of the cost of fuel failures in commercial nuclear power plants. Fifteen specific cost elements were identified and related to 44 input parameters. Several other potential cost elements also are discussed. Using the cost relationships developed, about 300 cases were analyzed. These cases consider a wide range of fuel performance and parameter variations for large LWR's. Calculation of the cost elements for these illustrative cases provides a basis for comparison of the relative importance of these elements in contributing to the total cost of fuel failure. A listing is provided for the small computer code used for the analyses, as are the complete print-outs from the cases analyzed
