Abstract
The number of multi-unit nuclear power plants (NPPs) increases, so does the demand for multi-unit probabilistic risk assessment (MUPRA). Considering dependencies among multiple units on one site, conventional probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) for a single unit cannot meet requirements of the overall site risk analysis. Existing MUPRA studies mainly evaluate limited risk characteristics, such as core damage, or focus on a limited number of units, within the range of two to six units. This study proposes a multi-unit event sequence modeling method for MUPRA, and develops a corresponding computer-aided tool, making it possible to deal with considerable number of units. Furthermore, their application to high temperature gas-cooled reactor – pebble bed module (HTR-PM) was carried out, showing that the modeling method and computer-aided tool can be applied to address dependencies of function events (FEs) and provide a reference for the full risk spectrum.
