Advances in Nuclear Safety Analysis Methodologyprovides a unique exposition on leading-edge safety analysis techniques applied in nuclear reactor licensing. Chapters discuss accidents with major significance to nuclear safety, governing safety design objectives, analysis methods used to quantify the behavior of the reactor, and associated safety-related systems. After sections on both Design Basis Accidents (DBA) and Beyond Design Basis Accidents (BDBA), the equally important topic of analysis relevant to accident management and emergency response is also addressed. This book will provide researchers, safety analysis and nuclear operational staff with a practical, highly authoritative and consolidated guide on the state-of-the-art.

• Provides a comprehensive description of the analysis methods for Design Basis Accident (DBA) and Beyond Design Basis Accident (BDBA) events
• Gives practical, yet high level insight into nuclear safety analysis, explaining how it is carried out and why it is performed in a particular way
• Consolidates essential information on the nuclear safety analysis methodology that currently exists only in research journal papers
