Report to The American Physical Society of the study group on radionuclide release from severe accidents at nuclear power plants

A detailed analysis is presented of the processes leading to nuclear reactor accidents and their consequences. The various kinds of containment vessels intended to trap radionuclides are discussed.(AIP)
