The book has been developed in conjunction with NERS 462, a course
offered every year to seniors and graduate students in the
University of Michigan NERS program.
The first half of the book covers the principles of risk
analysis, the techniques used to develop and update a reliability
data base, the reliability of multi-component systems, Markov
methods used to analyze the unavailability of systems with repairs,
fault trees and event trees used in probabilistic risk assessments
(PRAs), and failure modes of systems. All of this material is
general enough that it could be used in non-nuclear applications,
although there is an emphasis placed on the analysis of nuclear
systems.
The second half of the book covers the safety analysis of
nuclear energy systems, an analysis of major accidents and
incidents that occurred in commercial nuclear plants, applications
of PRA techniques to the safety analysis of nuclear power plants
(focusing on a major PRA study for five nuclear power plants),
practical PRA examples, and emerging techniques in the structure of
dynamic event trees and fault trees that can provide a more
realistic representation of complex sequences of events. The book
concludes with a discussion on passive safety features of advanced
nuclear energy systems under development and approaches taken for
risk-informed regulations for nuclear plants.
