A model for operational risk of industrial facilities including ageing/test degradation effects and maintenance effectiveness by S.F. Quintão Ribeiro, J.J. Rivero

“…The paper presents a model for operational risk of industrial facilities with applications to nuclear power plants and uranium mining. The traditional models update the risk profile for specific operational conditions setting to one the failure probability of components which are known to be unavailable by failure or maintenance, while constant mean unavailability values from the original Probabilistic Safety Analysis (PSA) are kept for the rest. …”

Thermal-Hydraulic System Codes in Nulcear Reactor Safety and Qualification Procedures by Alessandro Petruzzi, Francesco D'Auria

“…In the last four decades, large efforts have been undertaken to provide reliable thermal-hydraulic system codes for the analyses of transients and accidents in nuclear power plants. Whereas the first system codes, developed at the beginning of the 1970s, utilized the homogenous equilibrium model with three balance equations to describe the two-phase flow, nowadays the more advanced system codes are based on the so-called “two-fluid model” with separation of the water and vapor phases, resulting in systems with at least six balance equations. …”
