Description

In this paper some procedures are presented in order to develop an importance and sensitivity analysis on the parameters considered in the reliability study of the Auxiliary Feedwater System of Angra-1. The importance analysis is performed to determine the events which have contribution on the top event. The results obtained from the sensitivity analysis can show the effects of variations in probability values of the dominant component failures on the probability of the top event.
