“…Sb, Te, Mo, Sr and Pu are of intermediate importance [45]. Although Te, Mo and Pu have a small impact from the viewpoint of external exposure [27], they are important because Te and Mo are reported to form compounds with Cs, such as Cs 2 Te and Cs 2 MoO 4 [23,36], and Pu results in significant internal exposure [48].…”

“…From the viewpoint of public exposure, Cs and I are very important because almost all Cs and I in the fuel are released in a severe accident, which significantly impacts on the off-site exposure in the immediate and in the long term for I and Cs, respectively [26,[45][46][47]. Sb, Te, Mo, Sr and Pu are of intermediate importance [45].…”

Research Program for the Evaluation of Fission Product and Actinide Release Behaviour, Focusing on their Chemical Forms

We have launched a new research program for evaluation of fission product and actinide release behaviour under severe accident conditions, focusing on their chemical forms. In this research program, the fission product and actinide release models incorporated in the severe accident analysis code will be improved by implementing effects of chemical forms that are to be obtained by an experimental investigation on the fission product and actinide release behaviour from irradiated fuels. A novel insitu measurement method of chemical forms of fission products and actinides just after their release as well as an off-line analysis method will be employed as the experimental means for evaluating the chemical forms at the release and their stability after release.

“…Further transport of released FPs to the environment outside the pool building would be different for an SFP located inside the reactor containment than for an SFP in a non-hermetic building or non-isolated (open or failed) containment. In case the SFP is inside the reactor containment, the involved phenomena would be the same as for severe reactor accidents [54]. If the SFP is located in a non-hermetic building, the escape of FPs to the free environment would depend on the design and possible damage to the building.…”

The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 36 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies.

“…More recently the technical community found that insufficient attention has been paid to testing PRA assumptions (27)(28)(29), including the size of the appropriate source term (30). It has also been widely agreed that PRAs are best not interpreted in terms of absolute risks (31), as suggested by the original Rasmussen study.…”

Nuclear power currently accounts for 421 plants in 26 countries with a rated power output of 312 Gigawatts (GWe), or �16% of the world's electricity generating capacity (1, 2). As of 1989, there were 110 plants in the United States with full operating licenses, accounting for 97 GWe, or � 18% of generating capacity. After coal, nuclear is the largest contributor to US electric supply (Figure 1), even though nuclear contributes only �5% of all US energy (2).An additional 15 plants are under construction in the United States but none are on order, while more than 100 plants have been cancelled (2). France, with more than 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy (Figure 2), con tinues to lead the world in percent of electricity supplied by nuclear power (2).According to nuclear power analyst and proponent J. J. Taylor (3) "this tremendous block of power has been delivered, on the average, with greater safety, with less environmental impact, and at less cost than most prevailing 173
