Summary
We have reported our findings of the pre-existing leakage areas from the subatmospheric, atmospheric (dry and ice-condenser) PWRs and the BWRs. The subatmospheric plants employ rather tight containment and hence the pre-existing leakage areas are generally quite small (perhaps inconsequential in the progression of severe accidents). The pre-existing leakage areas for other plants are considerably larger and can have a significant impact on the progression of severe accidents. Finally, we note that the sealant degradation must be considered, since most of the seal materials may not withstand the temperatures, pressures, and the duration of their exposure, typical of severe accidents.
