1. A structured method of evaluating design basis accident parameters that will impact nuclear power plant containment designs, the method comprising the steps of:

  • assembling a first database of test results;

    selecting a model for identifying the design basis accident parameters applicable to specific type of nuclear power plant containment design to be evaluated;

    comparing a first set of results of the model to test results in the first database of test results;

    establishing uncertainty boundaries for the first set of results of the model;

    assembling a second database of test results;

    determining whether the test results of the second database are within the uncertainty boundaries of the model; and

    evaluating an actual or proposed containment building design based upon the results of the model when test results of the second database of test results are within the uncertainty boundary.
