A Petri Net Methodology for Modeling the Resilience of Nuclear Power Plants (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yan, R., Dunnett, S., Tolo, S., & Andrews, J. (2021, September). A Petri Net Methodology for Modeling the Resilience of Nuclear Power Plants. Presented at 31st European Safety and Reliability Conference, Angers, France

In the paper, a novel Petri Net (PN) method for assessing the resilience of nuclear reactors is presented. The PN model constructed aims to simulate the failure of the subsystems in a reactor caused by either natural degradation or external disruptiv...

A Modelling Framework for Dynamic Safety Assessment (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tolo, S., Yan, R., Dunnett, S., & Andrews, J. (2021, September). A Modelling Framework for Dynamic Safety Assessment. Presented at ESREL 2021 - 31st European Safety and Reliability Conference, Angers, France

The concept of resilience is progressively making its way into the design, operation and management practice of complex engineering systems. The core of such trend lies with the integration of failure mechanisms in the modelling of systems since the... Read More about A Modelling Framework for Dynamic Safety Assessment.

Evolved Methods for Risk Assessment (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jackson, A., Tolo, S., & Andrews, J. (2021, September). Evolved Methods for Risk Assessment. Presented at 31st European Safety and Reliability Conference, Angers, France

The foundations of risk assessment tools such as fault tree analysis and event tree analysis were established in the 1970s. Since then, research has made considerable advances in the capabilities of analytical techniques applicable to safety critical... Read More about Evolved Methods for Risk Assessment.
