RISUncertainty Quantification in Support of Severe Accident Analysis Code User Confidence Using MELCOR-DAKOTA
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Uncertainty and Sensitivity analysis methods are often used in severe accident analysis for validating the complex physical models employed in the system codes that simulate such scenarios. This is necessitated by the large ...
Investigating the Effect of Prior Distributions on Posterior Estimates of Common Cause Failure Parameters Using Bayesian Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Quantification of common cause failure (CCF) parameters and their application in multi-unit PSA are important to the safety and operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) on the same site. CCF quantification mainly involves ...
Characterization of Radioisotope and Shield Content of Stored Disused Sealed Radioactive Sources in Ghana
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Radioactive sources have been in use in Ghana over the last six decades, mainly in medicine, agriculture, industry, research, and academic investigations. Radioactive sources declared “disused” by users are required to be ...
TRICO II Core Inventory Calculation and its Radiological Consequence Analyses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two severe accident scenarios are investigated in this paper as they have never been considered previously in the safety analysis report (SAR) of the Congo TRIGA Mark II research reactor (TRICO II) in Kinshasa, the Democratic ...
