  1. 1. Reliability Assessment of Passive ICS in an SMR as part of the PSA Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Graeme Trundle; [2023]
    Keywords : Passive system reliability; Probabilistic safety assessment; Reliability Methods of Passive Systems; Natural circulation; TRACE; RiskSpectrum; Passiv systemtillförlitlighet; Probabilistisk säkerhetsbedömning; Reliability Methods of Passive Systems; Naturlig cirkulation; TRACE; RiskSpectrum;

    Abstract : Passive safety systems are increasingly being utilized in prospective nuclear power plant designs. Indeed, the use of safety systems driven by natural phenomena might be seen as an unmitigated virtue. READ MORE

  3. 2. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
    Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of Epistemic Uncertainties in Probabilistic Risk Assessments : Philosophical Review of Epistemic Uncertainties in Probabilistic Risk Assessment Models Applied to Nuclear Power Plants - Fukushima Daiichi Accident as a Case Study

    University essay from KTH/Filosofi

    Author : Omed A. Rawandi; [2020]
    Keywords : Probabilistic Risk Assessment; PRA; Probabilistic Safety Assessment; PSA; Uncertainty; Epistemic Uncertainty;

    Abstract : Safety and risk assessment are key priorities for nuclear power plants. Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is a method for quantitative evaluation of accident risk, in particular severe nuclear core damage and the associated release of radioactive materials into the environment.

  5. 4. Worst Credible Process Fire: Experiences from the Norwegian Petroleum Industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Linnéa Tengvall; [2019]
    Keywords : Worst Credible Process Fire; Norwegian offshore industry; offshore fire safety; offshore process safety; offshore design; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The term Worst Credible Process Fire (WCPF) was introduced to the Norwegian Petroleum Industry as a complement to the probabilistic approach to define design loads for offshore facilities. Currently there are mainly two documents about the WCPF being the SINTEF report (2017) and the definition in NORSOK S-001 (2018). READ MORE

  6. 5. Reliability – based analysis of embankment dams

    University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Author : Xiaochen Liu; [2019]
    Keywords : Embankment dams; reliability-based analysis; slope stability analysis; internal erosion; dam safety; fyllningsdammar; tillförlitlighetsbaserad analys; analys av släntstabilitet; inre erosion; dammsäkerhet;

    Abstract : Embankment dams are widely used as water-retaining structures through the world. Two principal structural failure modes of embankment dams are internal erosion and slope instability. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of applying probabilistic methods in embankment dam assessment. READ MORE
