Quantification of containment response in a probabilistic risk assessment

This lecture consists of four parts. They embody the principal aspects of the steps and analyses required to determine: The Plant Damage States; the C-Matrix; and the Release Categories. The four parts addressed are: I. A methodology for the probabilistic quantification of containment response. II. The analysis of containment failure pressure and quantification of uncertainty. III. A probabilistic analysis of containment failure due to hydrogen burning. IV. Determination of source terms and uncertainities. This lecture emphasis the quantification of uncertainties in containment response as a key ingredient of a PRA (Probabilistic risk assessment)
