Beschreibung
The book has been developed in conjunction with NERS 462, a courseoffered every year to seniors and graduate students in theUniversity of Michigan NERS program.
The first half of the book covers the principles of riskanalysis, the techniques used to develop and update a reliabilitydata base, the reliability of multi-component systems, Markovmethods used to analyze the unavailability of systems with repairs,fault trees and event trees used in probabilistic risk assessments(PRAs), and failure modes of systems. All of this material isgeneral enough that it could be used in non-nuclear applications,although there is an emphasis placed on the analysis of nuclearsystems.
The second half of the book covers the safety analysis ofnuclear energy systems, an analysis of major accidents andincidents that occurred in commercial nuclear plants, applicationsof PRA techniques to the safety analysis of nuclear power plants(focusing on a major PRA study for five nuclear power plants),practical PRA examples, and emerging techniques in the structure ofdynamic event trees and fault trees that can provide a morerealistic representation of complex sequences of events. The bookconcludes with a discussion on passive safety features of advancednuclear energy systems under development and approaches taken forrisk-informed regulations for nuclear plants.
