From the publication:
Foreword This study of certain consequences of hypothetical accidents has been undertaken to provide an independent assessment of risks at Barsebäck. (A parallel study is being made in Sweden.) The results can be used independently or in conjunction with a study being prepared by M.H.B. Associates of California concerning accident probabilities. For convenience, this report is referenced (Appendix C) in M.H.B. Swedish Reactor Safety Study. It was funded under separate contract with the Swedish Energy Commission. Citations of material in this report should refer to "Center for Environmental Studies Report #61. Most of the written material presented here deals with technical matters of interest to those who wish to scrutinize the assumptions and methodology which have been used. Section I (which presents the essential results of the study), the first part of Section II (which describes what happens after an accident), and Appendices C and D, are probably the only sections of interest to those outside the technical community. The draft report of this study was submitted for review to five individuals or groups. The critical comments received (which are discussed in Appendix J) have been helpful in improving the report and clarifying misleading language. The final report differs from the draft version, primarily, in the inclusion of more work on long-term consequences, and in the inclusion of additional sensitivity studies and comparisons with WASH-1400 methodology.
