Synopsis

This book captures the principles of safety evaluation as practiced in the regulated light-water reactor nuclear industry, as established and stabilized over the last 30 years. It is expected to serve both the current industry and those planning for the future. The work's coverage of the subject matter is the broadest to date, including not only the common topics of modeling and simulation, but also methods supporting the basis for the underlying assumptions, the extension to radiological safety, what to expect in a licensing review, historical perspectives and the implication for new designs.

This text is an essential resource for practitioners and students, on the current best-practices in nuclear power plant safety and their basis. Contributors of this work are subject matter experts in their specialties, much of which was nurtured and inspired by Prof. Larry Hochreiter, a prominent nuclear safety pioneer.

About this title

About the Author

Robert Martin leads the development of evaluation methodologies and models for the design and safety analysis of advanced nuclear power plant concepts at BWX Technologies,Inc. Through employment with B&W, AREVA (now Framatome), and Siemens Power Corp, he has been responsible for the development and regulatory defense of several safety analysis methodologies supporting the commercial nuclear power industry, including the first applications of best-estimate plus uncertainty methods to design-basis LOCA for both fuel and containment evaluations and for demonstrating plant resiliency to beyond design-basis severe accidents. His experience includes employment at the Idaho National Laboratory, working in the area of thermal system fluid modeling (RELAP5-3D). Dr Martin holds a PhD awarded by Penn State University, and a BS and MS from Texas A&M.  

Cesare Frepoli is the founder and principal consultant of the FPoliSolutions, LLC. Dr Frepoli has 27 years' experience in the nuclear industry and is a domain expert in executing the Evaluation Model Development and Assessment Process (RG 1.203), scaling analyses and uncertainty analysis methods. Prior to FPoliSolutions, DrFrepoli was the main developer and inventor of safety analysis technology at Westinghouse Electric Company, including ASTRUM and the Full Spectrum LOCAanalysis products. He was also a key contributor in the development and regulatory defense of the AP1000 safety case and has supported the resolution of various industry generic issues. Dr Frepoli holds a PhD awarded by PennState University, and an ME from Politecnico di Milano, Italy.
