In 2012, EPRI published “Investigation of Strategies for Mitigating Radiological Releases in Severe
Accidents – BWR Mark I and Mark II Studies” (EPRI1026539). This report assessed the value of various strategies starting from the perspective that there was a core vessel breech situation without regard for how the scenario progressed to that point. The objective was to identify strategies that could enhance containment performance.
In the current study, EPRI performed a more comprehensive evaluation of the scenarios and how they
developed. This allows for state – of -knowledge to be incorporated into the potential release cenarios. A focused scope level 3 Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) was developed for Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) sequences to evaluate not only the releases from the various scenarios, but also the potential for offsite consequences. The analysis shows that near all consequen ce reduction can be achieved by providing a method for severe accident capable water addition to the containment in Mark I and Mark II plants. Any other strategy provides marginal additional benefit.In this study, EPRI used high powered computing (HPC) to explicitly transfer sequence knowledge through the analysis out to the consequence end states. More than 500 Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP5) simulations were run to characterize each mitigating strategy; and more than 12000 simulations in all were erformed for the study. Methods were developed for generating the input for these simulations and presenting the output in a meaningful manner. A focus of this paper is on the presentation of output from such a large set of simulations in a meaningful manner. Some of the more useful ways of
characterizing the output are presented

Американская центрифуга. Конец истории.

А сколько рабочих центрифуг успели сделать по этому проекту?

Установлены все шесть вспомогательных модулей, предусмотренных в программе. Изготовлено 115 из 120 центрифуг. Сборка демонстрационного коммерческого каскада центрифуг начнётся в феврале.

Изготовлено 115 из 120 центрифуг.

Какой-то изощренный дебилизм изготовить практически 96% запланированных центрифуг, а потом прекрыть проект.
Видимо, что-то другое, а не гражданского назначения НОУ на них собирать получаются.
