  1. 1. Usability Principles for (Re)Design of User Interface of Emergency Handling Programs : Case Study on a Tool for Decision Support amidst a Nuclear Emergency: RASTEP

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Marita Liposinovic; [2020]
    Keywords : Usability; case study; emergency handling programs; stress; user experience; redesign; GUI; RASTEP.; Användbarhet; fallstudie; nödhanteringsssystem; stress; användarupplevelse; redesign; GUI; RASTEP.;

    Abstract : Highly stressful situations have a prominent influence on the human psyche and it is crucial to take this into account when designing and evaluating software used predominantly in nerve wrecking situations. Lack of principles for design and evaluation of design of emergency handling software programs allows for graphic interface solutions that leave room for mistakes and slips in an environment where making an error can have catastrophic consequences.

  3. 2. Tool And Algorithms for Rapid Source Term Prediction (RASTEP) Based on Bayesian Belief Networks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Prerna Agrawal; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In case of an accident in a nuclear power plant (NPP), the fast and cor-rect identification of the NPP state that would give a prediction of a possible radioactive release presents a major challenge to both nuclear power plants and regulators. Such prediction is important so that correct and timely decisions and measures are taken to mitigate accident consequences, such as evacuation of people from areas around the power plant. READ MORE

  4. 3. Comparison of MAAP and MELCOR : and evaluation of MELCOR as a deterministic tool within RASTEP

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Abstract : This master's thesis is an investigation and evaluation of MELCOR (a software tool for severe accident analyses regarding nuclear power plants), or more correctly of the (ASEA-Atom BWR 75) reactor model developed for version 1.8.6 of MELCOR. READ MORE

  5. 4. MODELLING EXPERT JUDGEMENT INTO A BAYESIAN BELIEF NETWORK. A METHOD FOR CONSISTENT AND ROBUST DETERMINATION OF CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY TABLES

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Frida Hansson; Stina Sjökvist; [2013]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : In project RASTEP (RApid Source TErm Prediction) a computerized tool for real time prediction of source terms at a nuclear power plant is developed. The tool consists of two modules where one is a Bayesian belief network (BBN). READ MORE

  6. 5. Definition and evaluation of a dynamic source term module for use within RASTEP : A feasibility study

    University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Per Alfheim; [2012]
    Keywords : nuclear safety; source term prediction; RASTEP;

    Abstract : RASTEP (RApid Source TErm Prediction) is a computerized tool for use in the fast diagnosis of accidents in nuclear power plants and analysis of the subsequent radiological source term. The tool is based on a Bayesian Belief Network that is used to determine the most likely plant state which in turn is associated with a pre-calculated source term from level 2 PSA. READ MORE
