Summary
As part of the Reactor Safety Study, a consequence model, CRAC, was developed to examine the public consequences of accidental releases of radioactive material from nuclear power plants. Since the development of the model, several studies have been conducted to examine the sensitivity of the model to factors such as plume rise, wind shear, rain, and population evacuation. All of these studies were performed assuming one or more of the potentially large accidental releases from reactor sites. At the same time, CRAC has been used to examine the consequences of sabotage-caused releases from spent fuel during transport. In the most recent study, the consequence estimates obtained with CRAC were compared with those obtained using METRAN, the consequence model developed for the Urban Study.
