Description

Highlights: • A model was developed to assess the fracture probability of cladding during a LOCA. • Bayesian inference for generalized linear models was performed. • Model selection using information criteria shows the log-probit model is the best. • 5% probability level with a 95% confidence of the fracture corresponds to 20% ECR.
