II. Discussion
The Sequoyah SOARCA project
considered a select set of potential
severe reactor accidents at the Sequoyah
power plant. The project combined upto-date information about the plant’s
layout and operations with local
population data and emergency
preparedness plans. This information
was then analyzed using state-of-the-art
computer codes that incorporate
decades of research into severe reactor
accidents.
The public meeting will be held on
April 20, 2016, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00
p.m. at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant
Training Center, 2600 Igou Ferry Road,
