A Methodology for Seismic Risk Analysis of Nuclear Power Plants

Stan Kaplan, Harold F. Perla and Dennis C. Bley

Risk Analysis, 1983, vol. 3, issue 3, 169-180

Abstract: This methodology begins by quantifying the fragility of all key components and structures in the plant. By means of the logic encoded in the plant event trees and fault trees, the component fragilities are combined to form fragilities for the occurrence of plant damage states or release categories. Combining these, in turn, with the seismicity curves yields the frequencies of those states or releases. Uncertainty is explicitly included at each step of the process.
