Demonstration of Emulator-Based Bayesian Calibration of Safety Analysis Codes: Theory and Formulation

System codes for simulation of safety performance of nuclear plants may contain parameters whose values are not known very accurately. New information from tests or operating experience is incorporated into safety codes by a process known as calibration, which reduces uncertainty in the output of th...
