Safety Systems Reliability
Author: A. E. GreenPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Examines the safety and reliability of automatic protective systems from the initial design phase through complete operation of the system within the plant. Focuses on the protective system used in nuclear reactors. Discusses the importance of independent safety and reliability assessments for evaluation of the system. Examines how human influence factors affect reliability. Compares the accuracy of the reliability prediction for characteristics such as the failure rate of equipment with actual field operating data.
Risk and Safety Analysis of Nuclear Systems
Author: John C. LeePublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118043456
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
The book has been developed in conjunction with NERS 462, a course offered every year to seniors and graduate students in the University of Michigan NERS program. The first half of the book covers the principles of risk analysis, the techniques used to develop and update a reliability data base, the reliability of multi-component systems, Markov methods 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 is general enough that it could be used in non-nuclear applications, although there is an emphasis placed on the analysis of nuclear systems. The second half of the book covers the safety analysis of nuclear energy systems, an analysis of major accidents and incidents that occurred in commercial nuclear plants, applications of 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 of dynamic event trees and fault trees that can provide a more realistic representation of complex sequences of events. The book concludes with a discussion on passive safety features of advanced nuclear energy systems under development and approaches taken for risk-informed regulations for nuclear plants.
Safety, Reliability, Human Factors, and Human Error in Nuclear Power Plants
Author: B.S. DhillonPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351624008
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Each year billions of dollars are being spent in the area of nuclear power generation to design, construct, manufacture, operate, and maintain various types of systems around the globe. Many times these systems fail due to safety, reliability, human factors, and human error related problems. The main objective of this book is to combine nuclear power plant safety, reliability, human factors, and human error into a single volume for those individuals that work closely during the nuclear power plant design phase, as well as other phases, thus eliminating the need to consult many different and diverse sources in obtaining the desired information.

ISBN: 9789201215109
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
On the basis of the principles included in the Fundamental Safety Principles, IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SF-1, this Safety Requirements publication establishes requirements applicable to the design of nuclear power plants. It covers the design phase and provides input for the safe operation of the power plant. It elaborates on the safety objective, safety principles and concepts that provide the basis for deriving the safety requirements that must be met for the design of a nuclear power plant. Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Applying the safety principles and concepts; 3. Management of safety in design; 4. Principal technical requirements; 5. General plant design; 6. Design of specific plant systems.
Human Reliability Analysis in Probabilistic Safety Assessment for Nuclear Power Plants

Development and Application of Level 1 Probabilistic Safety Assessment for Nuclear Power Plants
Author: IAEAPublisher: International Atomic Energy Agency
ISBN: 920130823X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The objective of this Safety Guide is to provide recommendations for meeting the requirements of GSR Part 4 (Rev. 1) in the development and application of Level 1 Probabilistic Safety Assessments (PSAs) for nuclear power plants (NPPs). The recommendations provided in this publication promoting technical consistency among Level 1 PSA studies, in order to provide reliable support for applications of PSAs and risk informed decision making, particularly to support the design of NPPs and decision making during plant commissioning and operation. The revised Safety Guide's scope encompasses the main methodological aspects of PSA and in particular has been updated to reflect developments in specific areas, such as passive systems reliability, computer based systems reliability, combinations of hazards, human reliability analysis and to expand the scope of PSA to include site level risk considerations such as multi-unit and spent fuel pool PSA.
