Abstract: The development of the pebble bed module reactor (PBMR) as a gas cooled thermal reactor type includes the use of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) during the design phases. This paper presents some of the basic issues and results of the application of PRA in the design process and as part of the licensing process.

Keywords: PRA; PBMR design; design optimisation; risk criteria; pebble bed module reactors; probabilistic risk assessment; gas cooled thermal reactors; licensing requirements; nuclear reactors; nuclear power plants; nuclear energy. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
