 Deterministic and risk-informed approaches for safety analysis of advanced reactors: Part I, deterministic approachesSang Kyu Ahn, Inn Seock Kim and Kyu Myung Oh Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2010, vol. 95, issue 5, 451-458 Abstract: The objective of this paper and a companion paper in this issue (part II, risk-informed approaches) is to derive technical insights from a critical review of deterministic and risk-informed safety analysis approaches that have been applied to develop licensing requirements for water-cooled reactors, or proposed for safety verification of the advanced reactor design. To this end, a review was made of a number of safety analysis approaches including those specified in regulatory guides and industry standards, as well as novel methodologies proposed for licensing of advanced reactors. This paper and the companion paper present the review insights on the deterministic and risk-informed safety analysis approaches, respectively. These insights could be used in making a safety case or developing a new licensing review infrastructure for advanced reactors including Generation IV reactors.
