Phased-mission system reliability analysis. Volume 1: methodology

Creators

Description

Phased missions analysis is a method for reliability analysis of dyanmic engineered systems such as those found in the nuclear power industry. This report presents new, practical methods for analysis of phased missions. Specifically, techniques for calculating system reliability, availability, and expected number of failures are given. Demonstration of the methods is carried out through an analysis of an Emergency Core Cooling System of a Pressurized Water Reactor during a loss of coolant accident. While this example problem is realistically modelled, the input failure and repair data are hypothetical
