One of the barriers on the implementation of nuclear energy in Indonesia is public perception towards the safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs). Therefore, it is necessary to perform a study about the radiation impact of normal and abnormal operations of an NPP. In accordance to the program of Ministry of Research and Technology period 2020-2024, concerning the plan to build a small modular reactor (SMR)-type NPP, a radiation safety study has been performed for the 100 MWe Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR-100MWe). Source term release of radioactive substances into the environment from PWR-100MWe is a starting point in the study of the radiological consequences of reactor operation. Therefore, this paper will examine the PWR-100MWe source term under normal and abnormal operating conditions, according to the design and the design basis accident (DBA). The initial trigger of the DBA is Lost of Coolant Accident (LOCA) such as Small LOCA and Large LOCA. Due to the limitations of available SMR data, the study of PWR-100MWe source term refers to the assumption of the release fraction of fission products per subsystem in a larger 1000MWe PWR. It is expected from this assumption that pessimistic source term will be obtained. The study begins with calculation of PWR-100MWe core inventory using ORIGEN2 code based on PWR-100MWe reactor parameters. Through the mechanistic source term model and PWR- 1000MWe release parameters, source terms will be obtained for normal operation and abnormal conditions i.e. DBA. Normal source term is used to calculate the consequences of normal operation, which will be used for environmental monitoring and environmental safety analysis of the site. Whereas accident source term is the basis for calculating the radiological consequences of accidents used for SAR documents and nuclear preparedness.
