Risk-informed incident management for nuclear power plants
Decision making as a part of nuclear power plant operations is a critical, but common, task. Plant management is forced to make decisions that may have safety and economic consequences. Formal decision theory offers the potential for a structured approach capable of taking into account risk-related …

Methods for optimization of neutron detector performance in nuclear power plants
Safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs) requires shutdown systems to mitigate design-basis accidents. Shutdown is based on measurements from in-core flux detectors. Thus, this thesis proposes a methodology for managing neutron-detector aging. Detector performance improvement for prompt fraction along …
