SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Draft Report Entitled, ‘‘Station Blackout Risk Evaluation for Nuclear Power Plants’’ This report is an update of several previous reports analyzing the risk from loss of offsite power and subsequent station blackout events at U.S. commercial nuclear power plants. The risk measure used is core damage frequency. Standardized plant analysis risk (SPAR) models developed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, covering the 103 operating commercial nuclear power plants, were used to evaluate the risk. Core damage frequency results indicating contributions from station blackout scenarios and other loss of offsite power scenarios are presented for each of the 103 plants, along with plant class and industry averages. In addition, a comprehensive review of emergency PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 diesel generator performance was performed to obtain current estimates for input to the SPAR models. Overall results indicate that core damage frequencies for loss of offsite power and station blackout are lower than previous estimates. Contributing to this risk reduction is an improvement in emergency diesel generator performance.
