Abstract
The fundamental challenge in nuclear power plant (NPP)
engineering is to ensure and demonstrate the safety of
the NPP, which is a complex sociotechnical system, by
considering all types of hazards including rare and
extreme conditions, all disciplines and all types of
system elements and all life-cycle phases and activities.
Deterministic and probabilistic analysis methods must be
applied to show the compliance with regulatory
requirements.
