DEVELOPMENT OF A FRAMEWORK FOR ASSESSING RADIATION SOURCE TERMS IN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

  • Published : 2001.09.30

Abstract

A risk analysis consists of a triplet, , where Si is the scenario identification; Pi is the probability of each scenario; and Xi is the consequences of each scenario. A new computing framework, OMAM (ORIGEN-MAAP4-MMCS), has been developed and applied for assessing the risk of a reference plant as well as radiation source terms using the concept of risk triplet. The result of this study using the OMAM framework presented in this paper, can contribute to producing domestic nuclear power plant's risk data base as well as to establishing severe accident management plans.
