Recent results from the U.S. Severe Accident Sequence Analysis (SASA) program
Description
The SASA program provides deterministic analysis of risk dominant sequences to evaluate sources of uncertainty, the effectiveness of accident management strategies and the utility of changes to plant configuration or procedures. It is an integral part of the U.S. program to reduce risk from severe accidents. Detailed analysis which include a review of BWR ATWS sequences, a study of the effectiveness of feed and bleed and studies of plant recovery after core damage is presented. The paper presents results from these studies and their safety implications. (orig.)
