چکیده

This report uses hypothetical decommissioning test cases to illustrate an uncertainty assessment methodology for dose assessments conducted as part of decommissioning analyses for NRC-licensed facilities. This methodology was pre sented previously in NUREG/CR-6656. The hypothetical test case source term and scenarios are based on an actual decommissioning case and the physical setting is based on the site of a field experiment carried out for the NRC in Ari zona. The emphasis in the test case was on parameter uncer tainty. The analysis is limited to the hydrologic aspects of the exposure pathway involving infiltration of water at the ground surface, leaching of contaminants, and transport of contaminants through the groundwater to a point of exposure. The methodology uses generic parameter distributions based on national or regional databases for estimating parameter uncertainty. A Bayesian updating method is used in one of the test case applications to combine site-specific information with the generic parameter distributions. Sensi tivity analyses and probabilistic simulations are used to describe the impact of parameter uncertainty on predicted dose. Emphasis is placed on understanding the conceptual and computational behavior of the dose assessment codes as they are applied to the test cases. The primary code used in these applications was RESRAD v. 6.0, although DandD v. 1.0 results are also reported. The methods presented and the issues discussed are applicable to other codes as well.

NUREG/CR-5587, "Approaches for Age-Dependent Probabilistic Safety Assessments with Emphasis on Prioritization and Sensitivity Studies."

Approaches are described for incorporating component aging reliability models into a probabilistic safety assessment (PSA), or probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), of a nuclear power plant. These approaches and procedures are described from a technical standpoint and are not to be interpreted as having any regulatory implications. Component aging failure rate models and test and maintenance agi...

This work develops and demonstrates a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) approach to assess the effect of aging and degradation of active components on plant risk. The work (a) develops a way to identify and quantify age-dependent failure rates of active components, and to incorporate them into PRA; (b) demonstrates these tools by applying them to a fluid-mechanical system, using the key eleme...
