INTRODUCTION

Part of this Handbook was developed as a joint project with the Institut für Energie
und Umweltforschung (IFEU), Heidelberg, F.R.G., in response to a request from the
West German Parliament. The F.R.G. was in the process of building its first breeder
nuclear reactor, Kalkar, near the border with the Netherlands and the probable
consequences of a serious reactor accident were being debated in both countries. To
resolve the debate the West German Parliament contracted with both the scientists in
Karlsruhe, nuclear proponents, and the scientists in Heidelberg, nuclear critics, to
estimate the severity of nine accident scenarios for the 300 MWe Kalkar breeder
reactor relative to comparable accidents at a 1000 MWe conventional nuclear reactor.
The question asked was: Is this small breeder reactor at least as safe as the largest
conventional nuclear reactor now licensed in the F.R.G.? The task included offering
health effect estimates and, if these differed from those commonly accepted in
nuclear circles, to explain the difference.
