METHODS FOR PROBABILISTIC RISK ANALYSIS OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

ISYE/NE 574
Course Description

Methods for risk and reliability analysis of engineered systems, particularly as applied in the nuclear power industry. Fault trees and event trees, Bayesian data analysis, probabilistic risk management. Some familiarity with nuclear plant safety systems is helpful, but not required.
