P. Varpasuo et al., SEISMIC PROBABILISTIC SAFETY ANALYSIS OF UNIT-1 OF THE LOVIISA NUCLEAR-POWER-PLANT, Nuclear Engineering and Design, 160(3), 1996, pp. 411-426
The seismic probabilistic safety assessment consists of five phases. I
n the seismic hazard analysis the seismicity of the plant site is quan
tified. In the second phase, the structural response of plant building
s is evaluated. On the basis of structural response, the seismic fragi
lities of selected plant components are developed. In the following ph
ase, the plant logic in the form of fault trees and event trees is est
ablished. In the last step, quantification of the core damage risk on
the basis of the above information is carried out. For the median valu
e of the annual core damage frequency, a value of 4.4 x 10(-7) was det
ermined.
