Attention has been paid to the source term released after Chernobyl and Three Mile Island (TMI), which were the representative accidents of nuclear power plants, and has been studied several times in order to predict and evaluate radiation source term, which can be released in the event of a virtual accident. In particular, the impact of the accident was assessed on the basis of Deterministic Safety Analysis (DSA) and after the WASH-1400, the technology of the Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) was introduced, supplementing safety by taking into account the existence of uncertainty. After the Fukushima accident, a SOARCA report was published to evaluate the specific classification of each type of accident, the realistic progress of the accident, and the leakage of radioactive materials. In this paper, the evaluation methodology and results of the source term of severe accident before and after the Fukushima accident were compared, and the evaluation methods applied to domestic nuclear power plants were compared. Prior to the Fukushima accident, the behavior of the accident and source term were evaluated for Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), which led to design based accidents, Total Loss of Feed Water (TLOFW) followed by Station Blackout (SBO) the results were compared to Chernobyl and TMI based on the resulting data to evaluate safety and reliability. After the Fukushima accident, the Interfacing System Loss of Coolant Accident (ISLOCA) and the Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR), which is classified as containment’s bypass accident, were included for predictive assessment. This is due to the analysis that the risk of cancer and early mortality are affected. MACST facilities and strategies were added to domestic nuclear power plants, and accidents with a high core damage frequency were mainly interpreted. In addition, source term was evaluated with the addition of a Basement Melt-Through (BMT) accident that had not previously been considered as a focus. As a result of the comparison of source term evaluation, accidents can be caused by a number of unidentified problems, and Korea’s experience on Level 2 and 3 has not been accumulated, making it difficult to predict the results of source term evaluation or lack of reliability.
