Significance of the analytical forms of fragility curves

  • 1. Bechtel Power Corp., Norwalk, CA

Description

Sensitivity analysis of the core melt probability to the analytical forms of the plant fragility is provided. Major parameters of the fragility curve affecting the core damage probability are discussed. Using algebra of fragilities it is demonstrated how analytical forms of component fragilities shape up the plant fragility and determine its parameters
