Abstract
A limited review is performed of the Severe Accident Risk Assessment for
the Limerick Generating Station. The review considers the impact on the
core-melt frequency of seismic- and fire-initiating events. An evaluation is
performed of methodologies used for determining the event frequencies and their
impacts on the plant components and structures. Particular attention is given
to uncertainties and critical assumptions. Limited requantification is performed
for selected core-melt accident sequences in order to illustrate sensitivities
of the results to the underlying assumptions.
