Abstract: The problems existing in the fission product source terms calculation for M310/CPR1000, EPR and AP1000 NPPs under normal operation are briefly analyzed. Based studies on the related regulations and standards, as well as operational feedback, review experiences and recent research achievements, a framework of fission product source terms estimation applicable for the PWRs in China was proposed. The proposed framework streamlines the calculation processes of fission product source term and has the requirements for deferent reactor types specified. The proposed framework can be taken as the foundation for solving the long-standing problems in the calculation of fission product source term and provide reference in source term calculation.

Key words: dose equivalent I-131, fission product, primary coolant source term, release source term
