It determined that the current generation of nuclear power plants exceeds NRC safety goals.
- Average probability of an individual early fatality per year:
- Average probability of an individual latent cancer death per year:
The typical BWR was the Peach Bottom plant and the typical PWR was the Surry plant.
Some of the calculations were done using the MACCS code . (MACCS does not include a module for calculating the source term, but rather calculates the environmental impact.) Parts of NUREG-1150 were compiled by Sandia National Laboratories, which continues to do such research.
