| Popis: | This paper examines the potential radiological consequences of a hypothetical line-break, core melt type of accident (Class IX). This paper concludes that the potential for catastrophic environmental release of radioactive material in case of a major reactor accident seems to be greatly suppressed by inherent processes provided by the coolant, the primary system, and the containment, without significant reliance on engineered safety features. 18 refs. |
