Comparison of Event Tree, Fault Tree and Markov Methods for Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Application to Accident Mitigation

چکیده
PSA tries to assess the whole spectrum of risk presented by a hazardous plant or operation. It does this by systematically modelling a great number of different accident sequences. The main cause of possible public or environmental harm from an accident in a nuclear plant is the radioactive release that may result, so PSA attempts to assess the frequency of occurrence of the whole range of such releases.

Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) which plays a crucial role in risk evaluation is a quantitative approach intended to demonstrate how a nuclear reactor meets the safety margins as part of the licensing process. Despite PSA merits, some shortcomings associated with the final results exist. Conventional PSA uses crisp values to represent the failure probabilities of basic events. This causes...

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) as a Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) method is used to identify basic causes leading to an undesired event, to represent logical relation of these basic causes in leading to the event, and finally to calculate the probability of occurrence of this event. To conduct a quantitative FTA, one needs a fault tree along with failure data of the Basic Events (BEs). Someti...
