JAEA, in conjunction with Tokyo City University, The University of Tokyo and JGC Corporation, have started development of a PRA method considering the safety and design features of HTGR. The primary objective of the project is to develop a seismic PRA method which enables to provide a reasonably complete identification of accident scenario including a loss of safety function in passive system, structure and components. In addition, we aim to develop a basis for guidance to implement the PRA. This paper provides the overview of the activities including development of a system analysis method for multiple failures, a component failure data using the operation and maintenance experience in the HTTR, seismic fragility evaluation method, and mechanistic source term evaluation method considering failures in core graphite components and reactor building.

This paper proposes a set of procedures for accident sequence analysis in seismic PRAs of HTGRs that can consider the unique accident progression characteristics of HTGRs. Main features of our proposed procedure are as follows: (1) Systematic analysis techniques including Master Logic Diagrams are used to ensure reasonable completeness in identification of initiating events and classification of accident sequences, (2) Information on factors that govern the accident progression and source terms are effectively reflected to the construction of event trees for delineation of accident sequences, and (3) Frequency quantification of seismically-initiated accident sequence frequencies that involve multiplepipe ruptures are made with the use of the Direct Quantification of Fault Trees by Monte Carlo (DQFM) method by a computer code SECOM-DQFM.

The purpose of this study was to assess exposure dose of "Inadvertent Human Intrusion or Rare Natural Event Scenarios" on sub-surface disposal. It was one of "Classification of three types scenarios" in "Basic Policy for Safety Regulation Concerning Land Disposal of Low-Level Radioactive Waste (Interim Report)" formulated by the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan. Selection of the assessed scenarios, development of the assessment tool and preliminary exposure dose assessment were conducted. Exposure dose of "Well water drinking scenario" was the highest in the assessed scenarios. This scenario assumed that the groundwater in Excavation Disturbed Zone (EDZ) was directly used as drinking water without any dilution. Although this was very conservative condition and the result exceeded 10 mSv/y, it was under the upper limit of standard dose value (10$$sim$$100 mSv/y) in the Interim Report for "Inadvertent Human Intrusion or Rare Natural Event Scenarios".

The purpose of this study was safety assessment of "Inadvertent Human Intrusion or Rare Natural Event Scenarios" on sub-surface disposal. It was one of "Classification of three types scenarios" in "Basic Policy for Safety Regulation Concerning Land Disposal of Low-Level Radioactive Waste (Interim Report)" formulated by the NSC. Considering of assessed scenario, selection of the assessed scenarios, development of the assessment tool and preliminary exposure dose assessment were conducted according to the standard of the AESJ. As the results, exposure dose of "Well water drinking scenario" was the highest in the assessment scenarios. This scenario assumed that the groundwater in Excavation Disturbed Zone (EDZ) was directly used as drinking water without any dilution. Although, this was very conservative condition and the result exceeded 10 mSv/y, it stayed under the upper limit of standard dose value for "Inadvertent Human Intrusion or Rare Natural Event Scenarios" (10-100 mSv/y).
