DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLATFORM FOR SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION PROCESS SYSTEM FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

摘要

Significance determination process (SDP) is one of important application tools in the scheme of risk-informed and performance based regulation. It is used to help the analyst evaluate the risk significance of a particular safety concerned event. By referring to the design and development of SDP system, this paper gives a brief introduction on the design and development of the system. An autonomously developed PSA quantification engine is incorporated into the SDP system, and it helps to resolve quantification issue for event risk evaluation. From qualified screening to risk significance quantification, SDP system is designed to realize the whole process for event risk analysis. SDP system could potentially help analysts from both regulatory agency and NPP licensees to quickly evaluate the risk significance of a particular event.
