Special Committee Review of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Severe Accident Risks Report (NUREG-1150).

NUREG1420

Publication Date	1990
Personal Author	Herbert, J. C.; Apostolakis, G.; Birkhofer, E. H. A.; Hoegberg, L. G.; Rasmussen, N. C.
Page Count	88
Abstract	In April 1989, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) published a draft report 'Severe Accident Risks: An Assessment for Five U.S. Nuclear Power Plants,' NUREG-1150. Because the information in NUREG-1150 will play a significant role in implementing the NRC's Severe Accident Policy, its quality and credibility are of critical importance. Accordingly, the Commission requested that the RES conduct a peer review of NUREG-1150 to ensure that the methods, safety insights and conclusions presented are appropriate and adequately reflect the current state of knowledge with respect to reactor safety. To this end, RES formed a special committee in June of 1989 under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The Committee, composed of a group of recognized national and international experts in nuclear reactor safety, was charged with preparing a report reflecting their review of NUREG-1150 with respect to the adequacy of the methods, data, analysis and conclusions it set forth. The report which precedes reflects the results of this peer review.
