''Calculation of Reactor
Accident Consequences''
commissioned by the
US Nuclear Regulatory Commission
The following figures are from the CRAC-2 Report.
This report looks at nuclear power plants in the USA
and assumes a class 9 [worse case] meltdown.The report was commissioned by the NRC
[Nuclear Regulatory Commisssion] and
carried out by Sandia Labs in New Mexico.It was published by the U.S. Congress
Estimates are based on 1982 population and 1982 dollars.
and the Washington Post on November 1, 1982.Estimates in square brackets are 3 to 4 times
higher than the Sandia estimates since the
authors of the NRC Reactor Safety Study found
that changing the criteria for data collection
would increase all estimates by a factor of 3 to 4.
