Abstract

Nuclear power plants (NPPs) are some of the most complex engineering systems that consist of thousands of components working together to maintain a controlled nuclear fission to generate heat and convert that heat into usable energy. Failure of one or more components may have significant consequences. Hence, it is important to understand what can go wrong and what are the consequences if something went wrong and to quantify how likely it is for something to go wrong. The field of engineering that attempts to answer these is probabilistic risk assessment (PRA).
