Sizewell 'B' Power Station Public Inquiry: CEGB (Central Electricity Generating Board, London, England) Proof of Evidence. Radiological Releases from Design Basis Accident

摘要

A description is given of the main sources of radioactivity and the barriers which would prevent their release at the proposed Sizewell B nuclear power station. The methods of calculating the radiological consequences associated with the most significant faults within the design are outlined. The following possibilities are considered: faults involving high fuel temperatures; loss of coolant accidents; secondary coolant circuit faults; waste processing system faults; irradiated fuel faults.
