ICONE15-10806 THE MANAGEMENT OF SEVERE ACCIDENTS IN MODERN PRESSURE TUBE REACTORS
Abstract
Advanced new reactor designs resist severe accidents through a balance between prevention and mitigation. This balance is achieved by designing to ensure that such accidents are very rare; and by limiting core damage progression and releases from the plant in the event of such rare accidents. These design objectives are supported by a suitable combination of probabilistic safety analysis, engineering judgment and experimental and analytical …
