Application of probabilistic approach to UP3-A reprocessing plant

Abstract

In the UP3-A design studies, three complementary approaches were used: - observance of regulations, and good practice; - review of experience feedback; - the correlation of probabilities and consequences making use of an acceptability graph. The latter approach was considered by the safety authorities to be an acceptable practice where the probability calculations were sufficiently accurate. Examples of its application are presented.
