Abstract

This paper provides an overview of lessons learned in applying a dynamic computational framework that links results from a commercially available force-on-force (FOF) simulation tool, a commercially available thermal-hydraulic tool, and the Event Modeling Risk Assessment using Linked Diagrams (EMRALD) for an operating commercial nuclear power plant. This process of including plant procedures and multiple analysis results is being called Modeling and Analysis for Safety Security using Dynamic EMRALD Framework. It describes how a user could integrate their plant-specific FOF models with safety mitigation actions in EMRALD and with thermal-hydraulic tools, such as the Modular Accident Analysis Program. The work performed in this paper is based on a generic EMRALD model with actual plant data used for the analysis. However, we are only presenting the generic model and general results of the analysis for dissemination. No plant’s sensitive information is in this paper. The discussion shows examples of insights from our proposed methodology.
