... to address energy needs in remote locations during peace and war. Project Pele, an MNPP prototype, seeks to advance nuclear power plant engineering and inform decision-makers comprehensively. Due to the complexities and mobility of MNPPs, conducting probabilistic risk assessments (PRAs) is crucial...

... Abstract The development of the nuclear industry’s Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) has significantly contributed to the design, reliability, and safety of nuclear power plants (NPP). Today, PRAs form integration in all nuclear power plant development stages, including design, licensing...

... and exogenous upset inter-arrival times. We describe why methods evaluating maintenance policy reliant on combinatorial logic, such as Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA), fault trees, or event trees, may lead to ineffective maintenance policy decision-making for protective system efficacy, and we show why...
