Abstract
Recently, a technology called the floating nuclear power plant (FNPP) has been developed around the world to maximize the use of ocean and nuclear energy. The FNPP is required to investigate the impact of a ship collision during its service. A rapid and accurate approach for assessing ship collision hazards is proposed in this work. First, the annual collision frequencies of four different ship types are calculated using the improved collision frequency formula, with standby and supply vessel frequencies of 1.63×10-3 and 2.12×10-3, respectively, and passing and fishing vessel frequencies of less than 10-7. Subsequently, a combination of finite element numerical simulation, back propagation (BP) neural network, and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is used to derive the probability density distribution of collision damage measures. By integrating the annual collision frequency and probability distribution, this paper analyses the hazard of ship collision with FNPP and derives the hazard curve.
