Summary of uncertainty analysis of dispersion and deposition modules of the MACCS and COSYMA consequence codes: A joint USNRC/CEC study

Harper, Frederick T.

This paper briefly describes an ongoing project designed to assess the uncertainty in offsite radiological consequence calculations of hypothetical accidents in commercial nuclear power plants. This project is supported jointly by the Commission of European Communities (CEC) and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC). Both commissions have expressed an interest in assessing the uncertainty in consequence calculations used for risk assessments and regulatory purposes.
