Title: Development in reliability models and methods

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5756682

This paper reviews analytical developments in modeling reliability characteristics for components and systems. Modeling involves definition of failure modes, relevant probability and timing parameters for the modes, and derivation of explicit equations for component and system unavailabilities and failure intensities. Some but not all developments to be discussed were carried out within the DOE-sponsored LMFBR safety program.
