Optimization of deterministic based design of the PWR 1000 MW by aid of PSA

  • 1. Siemens A.G. Unternehmensbereich KWU, Erlangen (Germany, F.R.)

Description

PSA was used to optimize the determinstic based design of the PWR 1000 MW. For this three reference accidents which are known to be the covering ones from previous valuations were investigated in detail. On basis of these accidents the integral core damage frequency has been estimated to be about 2 E-5/a. This result reflects a sufficient safety level and thus the quality of the requirement which has to be used for the design. Nevertheless the influence of some plant modifications was estimated in addition. It shows that especially the consideration of a modul with a diverse power generator results in a more balanced design on an increased safety level. (orig.)
