Abstract Following the Fukushima Daiichi accident, enhancing the safety of nuclear power
plants has become the priority mission for the future of nuclear energy. Probabilistic safety …

This study presents seismic fragility analysis of the containment structure subjected to near
fault ground motion. Prior to perform seismic fragility analysis, 20 near fault ground motion …

Although conventional probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) makes a sufficient contribution
to evaluating the safety of nuclear facilities, it suffers some limitations in performing optimal …

Several countries show interest in the Generation-IV power reactor innovative small module
(PRISM), including: Canada, Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom …

Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) based on event trees and fault trees has been widely
used in the risk assessment of nuclear power plants. A static approach by nature, PSA has …

Dynamic probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) has been introduced due to the limitations of
static-based PSA such as the difficulty to analyze dynamic sequences caused by stochastic …

For decades, efforts have been made to enhance the realism of risk assessment methods for
nuclear power plants (NPPs) by augmenting the number of representative scenarios. The …

Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is an essential approach to improving the safety of
nuclear power plants. However, this method includes certain difficulties, such as modeling of …

Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) is a tool for securing the operational safety of nuclear
power plants. One unique benefit of PSA is to identify accident scenarios leading to …

With a specific focus on nuclear facilities related to energy production, the present paper
aims at providing perspectives on a number of issues and topics of safety, which are …
