Within the framework of the risk-oriented analysis for the Schneller Natriumgekühlter Reaktor (SNR)-300, a survey of expert opinion was conducted in 1982 to obtain a probability distribution for the work energy release caused by an unprotected loss-of-flow (ULOF) accident. A comprehensive questionnaire on the relevant phenomena was distributed to experts from 18 organizations involved in fast breeder safety. Basic to the probabilistic procedure are the two customary concepts of probability:
