DYLAM-1: A Software Package for Event Sequence and Consequence Spectrum Methodology

摘要

The report describes basic ideas, and algorithms of the methodology proposed for the analysis of incident sequences. Main features of the technique are: description of a system through modelling of the physics of its components both in safe and failed conditions; automated and controlled generation of possible dynamic event sequences; probabilistic analysis of normal and abnormal occurrences with reference both to component performance and to values attained by physical parameters. A practical guide for code users is finally given. The user example is chosen from a nuclear safety application and is referred to a LMFBR plant.
