Advances in Nuclear Safety Analysis Methodology provides a unique exposition on leading-edge safety analysis techniques applied in nuclear reactor licensing. Chapters discuss accidents with major significance to nuclear safety, governing safety design objectives, analysis methods used to quantify the behavior of the reactor, and associated safety-related systems. After sections on both Design Basis Accidents (DBA) and Beyond Design Basis Accidents (BDBA), the equally important topic of analysis relevant to accident management and emergency response is also addressed. This book will provide researchers, safety analysis and nuclear operational staff with a practical, highly authoritative and consolidated guide on the state-of-the-art.

Key Features

Provides a comprehensive description of the analysis methods for Design Basis Accident (DBA) and Beyond Design Basis Accident (BDBA) events
Gives practical, yet high level insight into nuclear safety analysis, explaining how it is carried out and why it is performed in a particular way
Consolidates essential information on the nuclear safety analysis methodology that currently exists only in research journal papers
