@inproceedings { , title = {Petri Nets and Pseudo-Bond Graphs for a Nuclear Reactor Primary Coolant System}, 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.}, conference = {29th European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL 2019)}, doi = {10.3850/978-981-11-2724-3\_0536-cd}, pages = {3831-3838}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/2216544}, keyword = {Risk and reliability engineering, Nuclear power plants, Petri net modeling, Bond graphs Modeling,}, year = {2024}, author = {Wootton, Mark James and Andrews, John and Lloyd, Adam L. and Smith, Roger and Arul, A.
