Description

This paper presents the development of Leak Before Break method and its disadvantages in usage. Then this paper introduces a probabilistic approach to Leak Before Break demonstration, also presents its basic theory and analysis procedure in detail. This paper presents the leak and DEGB probabilities of coolant system for the nuclear plants in the USA. By the end, this paper introduces the current state and future work of probabilistic approach to Leak Before Break demonstration. (authors)
