On the Development of Threshold Criteria for Action for Light Water Reactors

David Okrent and William L. Baldewicz

Risk Analysis, 1982, vol. 2, issue 3, 149-162

Abstract: A survey of recently proposed threshold criteria for regulatory action on light water reactors (LWRs) is presented together with some commentary. This is followed by a new proposal for threshold action criteria which includes some different risk attributes than are found in previous criteria. Some preliminary risk values are suggested for the criteria and then evaluated in terms of a few hypothetical accident scenarios. Finally, several licensing issues are examined in terms of various threshold action criteria.
