[Risk analysis in nuclear technics. German risk study of nuclear power plants].
Starting from risk analyses previously performed in nuclear engineering is given. The steps, by which conceivable sequences of damage within the plant and in its environment were simulated in the "German Risk Study" are shown. To record a broad spectrum of possible damage sequences, a total of about 600 000 different simulations were performed. The extent of damage was expressed as the number of deaths from acute radiation syndrome (early damage) and from radiation induced cancer (late damage). The results determined are represented as distribution functions of the damage and as expectation values of damage. They are compared with the nature incidence of cancer and with the extent of damage from other technological fields.
