Estimating Allowable Operator Action Time for Mitigating Multiple‐Failure Accidents in Korean Advanced Power Reactor

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
In the case of multiple‐failure accidents in light water reactors, it is imperative to demonstrate that a significant fuel damage can be prevented via prearranged mitigation measures performed by operators. However, the time elapsed from the initiation of the event to the implementation of mitigation actions significantly influences the progress and ...
