Accident Sequence Modeling Methodology for External Flood Probabilistic Safety Analysis of Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper compares two different accident sequence methodologies for external flood probabilistic safety analysis (EFPSA). It is shown that the two methodologies lead to identical expression for CDF with an example. Using accident sequences developed for internal events PSA is recommended for detailed external flood probabilistic safety analysis of prototype fast breeder reactor.
