Description

The complete uncertainty evaluation tool CONCERT for Criticality Safety Analysis (CSA) including Burn-Up Credit (BUC) is described. This tool has been developed by AREVA NP GmbH, Germany, to completely consider all the uncertainties arising in (BUC) CSA applications. This is achieved by applying full Monte Carlo procedures to each of the steps of a (BUC) CSA which have to be taken according to the hierarchy of uncertainties described in the paper on hand. CONCERT completes and advances the uncertainty analysis methods described in the first reference. (authors)
