Abstract

In this paper we demonstrate the application of timed Petri Net methodology to the frequency of initiating faults in the coolant circulation system of a fictional nuclear reactor design. A second model is presented where the Petri Net is coupled with a Bond Graph representation of reactor thermodynamics, and distributions of temperatures reached by core coolant and fuel cladding during component failures is produced.
