title = "Risk-informed assessment of defence in depth, LOCA example: Phase 1: Mapping of conditions and definition of quantitative measures for the defence in depth levels",
abstract = "The concept of defence-in-depth (DID) is fundamental to safety of nuclear power plants. It calls for multiple successive methods or barriers to radioactive release to the environment. This work develops a methodology based on a plant-specific probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) for an assessment of DID levels of a nuclear power plant. It includes: 1) mapping of conditions that should be considered for the DID levels, and 2) definition of quantitative measures that should be considered for the defence in depth levels. The work has been limited to loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCA) and DID levels 1 and 2, i.e., prevention of abnormal operation and failures and control of abnormal operation and detection of failures. Examples are chosen both from power operation LOCAs and LOCAs during cold shutdown",
