Proof of Concept of the use of Advanced Computational Accident Scenario Modeling for Safety Margin Economic Evaluation

Creator:

Riley, Thomas H.

Abstract:

The goal of this project was to pave the way for more data-driven decision making when considering safety within Nuclear Engineering by proving the concept of new and innovative accident scenario modeling techniques for the analysis of the economics of nuclear safety margins. To do this, a simple, if extremely...

Proof of concept of the use of RAVEN and RELAP5-3D for risk informed safety margin characterization

Creator:

Riley, Thomas H.

Abstract:

This project was a proof of concept of the use of the RAVEN software, a tool developed for the Risk Informed Safety Margin Characterization (RISMC) approach, with RELAP5-3D. This novel approach combines older probabilistic and mechanistic approaches to look at how and why the complex systems of a nuclear power...
