Multi-unit Level 2 probabilistic safety assessment: Approaches and their application to a six-unit nuclear power plant site

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2018
The risk of multi-unit nuclear power plants (NPPs) at a site has received considerable critical attention recently. However, current probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) procedures and computer code do not support multi-unit PSA because the traditional ...
