Application of Value-Impact Analysis to USI A-45, Summary Report of UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) Studies on Value-Impact in Relation to USI A-45,

摘要

Value-impact analyses of potential resolutions to USI A-45 were an essential part of the program. The report describes: (1) development of a V-I analysis methodology for the example plant case studies; (2) the main sources of uncertainty in V-I analyses and their treatment in USI A-45; (3) the investigation of additional avertable costs such as economic impact of nuclear moratoria; (4) the inter-relation of V-I analysis and possible use of quantified design objectives for the probability of core melt and other safety parameters; and, (5) the application of V-I analysis to regulatory decisions in relation to specific problems.
