Synopsis

Reliability and Probabilistic Safety Assessment in Multi-Unit Nuclear Power Plants presents the risk contributions from single and multi-unit Nuclear Power Plants to help aggregate the risks that may arise due to applicable hazards and operating states. The book combines the key features of multi-unit risk assessment in one resource, reviewing the practices adopted in various countries around the globe to exemplify the dependencies between units on a site. These dependencies include multi-unit interactions, environmental stresses, the sharing of systems, and the sharing of human resource in a control room, factors which can all introduce an increase potential for heightened accident conditions. This book helps readers systematically identify events and evaluate techniques of possible accident outcomes within multi-units. It serves as a ready reference for PSA analysts in identifying a suitable site and the sharing of resources, while carrying out multi-unit risk assessments to ensure the safety of the public and the environment. It will also be valuable for nuclear researchers, designers and regulators of nuclear power plants, nuclear regulatory agencies, PSA engineers and practicing safety professionals.

À propos de l?auteur

Dr. Senthil C. Kumar has over 28 years of research experience at the Indian Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) and is presently Head of Risk Assessment and GIS section of AERB-Safety Research Institute at Kalpakkam. His areas of specialization include: Reliability Engineering, Risk Assessment studies, Probabilistic Safety Assessment, Software reliability, Seismic Safety, Statistical analysis, etc. Dr. Kumar was involved in the Level-1 probabilistic safety assessment of Prototype Fast Breeder reactor, specifically in the reliability analysis of shutdown system, decay heat removal system, power supply system and in Passive system reliability analysis. He has significantly contributed to the seismic re-evaluation of Fast Breeder Test Reactor at Kalpakkam. His post-doctoral study is in the area of Software reliability for computer-based systems in safety critical operations, real-time scheduling for adaptive fault tolerance in multiprocessor systems, software testing, fault injection and mutation studies.

After his Ph.D. in Reliability in Anna University in 2005, Dr. Kumar did his post-doctoral research in Sweden in 2009-10. He has guided 5 Ph.D. students, two MS students and several research fellows. He is a reviewer of journal articles in Elsevier publications and has authored / co-authored more than 26 international peer-reviewed journal publications and several national publications.
