Sicherheitsvorkehrungen bei Kernkraftwerken mit Druckwasserreaktoren und ihr Funktionsnachweis durch großtechnische Experimente,II

Analyses and experiments carried out during the last decade on the sequence and consequences of accidents in German pressurized water reactors have shown that the functioning capability of the safety systems is guaranteed for the case of the MCA, the maximum credible accident. For the case of core meltdown, simulation experiments have also made it evident that the consequences remain largely restricted to the plant proper.
