Abstract

The operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) has been investigated in the aspect of safeguard assessment. The risk of the terrors in NPPs is one of the critical points in secure power operations. The basic event of the related incidents is quantified by game theory. The Cobb-Douglas function of the production function is modified and developed as the Safeguard Production Function. The standard productivity is compared with the interested power. Using the life extension, the range of the secure operation in 2,000 MWe is between 1.00 and 8.00 and the range in 600 MWe is between 0.00 and 1.00. This means the highest value in the range of secure power operation is about 8 times higher than that of the interested power operation in this study. The safeguard assessment is quantified by the life extension of the NPPs. Finally, the nuclear safeguard protocol is constructed for the successful safe operation.
