Integrated Risk-Informed Design (I-RID) methodological framework and computational application for FLEX equipment storage buildings of Nuclear Power Plants

In this research, an Integrated Risk-Informed Design (I-RID) methodological framework is developed for generating and evaluating design options for Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) structures and for providing plant decision makers with a quantitative comparison among design options based on multiple decision criteria, e.g., safety risk and cost. In the I-RID framework, simulations of underlying failure mechanisms are integrated with Probabilistic Risk...
