Technical Approach to Probabilistic Safety Assessment for Multiple Reactor Units, Paperback / softback Book

Technical Approach to Probabilistic Safety Assessment for Multiple Reactor Units Paperback / softback

Part of the Safety Reports Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

The technical approach described in this publication builds on the use of a single unit probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) and identifies considerations that are needed from the multi-unit perspective.

This is the first attempt to expand the current PSA process to take account of multi-unit issues, and has been done by distilling lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi accident and other multi-unit events, and by reviewing previous PSAs and supporting research that have addressed the risks of multi-unit accidents.

The publication provides a roadmap and methodology for performing a multi-unit PSA, proposes a set of site level risk metrics, and presents examples of approaches to resolve specific issues.
