Application of Chernoff bound to passive system reliability evaluation for probabilistic safety assessment of nuclear power plants
There is an increasing interest in passive safety systems to minimize the need for operator intervention or external power sources in nuclear power plants. Because a passive system has a weak driving force, there is greater uncertainty in the performance compared with an active system. In previous s...
