Description

Reliability safety assessment makes it possible to evaluate and compare the individual project variants in the stage of designing. The method is a two-stage one, of which stage one is an analysis of the existing units while stage two is an iterative process of seeking a better solution. The process is described of reliability assessment of safety in the development of the Westinghouse AP-1350 and AP-600 advanced pressurized water reactors with outputs of 1,350 and 600 MW, respectively. Emphasis is placed on passive safety systems. The safety of advanced reactors is roughly one order of magnitude higher than that of conventional pressurized water reactors. (M.D.)
