FOREWORD

This report provides the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s draft assessment of 
severe accident risks for a set of commercial nuclear power plants. Because of the 
importance of this work to a variety of NRC regulatory activities, this report is 
being circulated widely for comment on its methods and results.

In this report, severe accident risks are estimated using information on:

- the types and frequencies of accidents that can lead to severe core damage
and melting;

- the performance of the containment structure under severe accident loadings;

- the radioactive source terms released into the environment if the containment
structure were to fail; and

- the offsite consequences (health effects and costs) of these radioactive releases.
