A building system is highly nonlinear and commonly includes a variety of parameters
ranging from the architectural design to the building mechanical and energy system. Serving …

With the adoption of autonomous systems in higher levels of autonomy, large-scale,
complex and dynamic systems are becoming commonplace. Ensuring safe operation of …

A new generation of dynamic methods has started receiving attention for nuclear reactor
probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). These methods, which are commonly referred to as …

Abstract Dynamic Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) methods couple stochastic methods (eg,
RAVEN) with safety analysis codes (eg, RELAP5-3D) to determine risk associated to …

Abstract The Integrated Safety Assessment (ISA) methodology, developed by the Consejo
de Seguridad Nuclear, has been applied to an analysis of Zion NPP for sequences with …

Abstract Risk Importance Measures (RIMs) are indexes that are used to rank Structures,
Systems, and Components (SSCs). The most used measures are: Risk Reduction Worth …

Dynamic probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), which handles epistemic and aleatory

One of the lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP) accident
is strengthening the station blackout (SBO) mitigation capabilities by enhancing defense in …

An integrated deterministic and probabilistic safety analysis (IDPSA) was carried out to
assess the performances of the firefighting means to be applied in a nuclear power plant …

Severe accident scenarios for nuclear power plants are determined through probabilistic
safety analysis (PSA). In this process, it is possible to identify the failure sequence of specific …
