Analysis of the LaSalle Unit 2 Nuclear Power Plant: Risk Methods Integration and Evaluation Program (RMIEP)
This volume presents the methodology and results of the internal event accident sequence analysis of the LaSalle Unit II nuclear power plant performed as part of the Level III Probabilistic Risk Assessment being performed by Sandia national laboratories for the Nuclear Regulatory commission. This report describes the new techniques developed to solve the very large and logically complicated fault trees developed in the modeling of the LaSalle systems, for evaluating the large number of cut sets in the accident sequences, for the application of recovery actions to these cut sets, and for the evaluation of the effects of containment failure on the systems and the resolution of core vulnerable accident sequences.
