The effect of the number of subintervals upon the quantification of the seismic probabilistic safety assessment of a nuclear power plant

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2023
Seismic risk has received increased attention since the 2011 Fukushima accident in Japan. The seismic risk of a nuclear power plant is evaluated via seismic probabilistic safety assessment (PSA), for which several methods are available.

On improving seismic risk and cost for nuclear energy facility based on multi-objective optimization considering seismic correlation

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2022
Currently, the system, structure, and component (SSC) seismic design and seismic probabilistic safety assessment (SPSA) process for the nuclear energy facility are performed individually, thus seismic risk reduction and cost efficiency cannot be pursued.
