Abstract

Abstract Success criteria analysis plays a key role in the development of realistic probabilistic safety/risk assessment (PSA/PRA) model because it provides supporting information regarding the response of complex nuclear power plant systems to different accident conditions. The current paper performs plant specific success criteria analysis for steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) accident in a typical pressurized water reactor (PWR) and demonstrates implementation of the obtained best estimate results on a risk model which has been initially developed based on expert judgment and general plant design data. The modifications on the risk model include configuration of the safety systems as well as the event tree structure. The updated PSA model shows 50% reduction in the plant core damage frequency (CDF) in comparison to the base case risk model. This highlights the importance of success criteria analysis for the development of a realistic PSA model in risk informed applications.
