Elements of fragility models
Description
In order to provide a common basis for conducting uniform fragility analyses, the following five basic elements of fragility models are identified and discussed: risk presentation, failure modes, analytical form of the fragility curve, evaluation of fragility curve parameters and assembly of component fragilities into a system or a plant fragility. The importance of every element of the fragility model is demonstrated and its impact on core melt probability for a generic nuclear power plant is discussed
