The book examines level 1 and 2 full power, low power and shutdown PSA, and summarizes the author?s experience gained during the last 35 years in this area. It provides useful examples taken from PSA training courses the author has lectured and organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Such training courses were organised in Argonne National Laboratory (Chicago, IL, USA), Abdus Salaam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (Trieste, Italy),  Malaysia, Vietnam and Jordan to support experts from developing countries. The role of PSA for the plants is an estimation of the risks in absolute terms and in comparison with other risks of the technical and the natural world. Plant-specific PSAs are being prepared for the plants and being applied for detection of weaknesses, design improvement and backfitting, incident analysis, accident management, emergency preparedness, prioritization of research and development and to support the regulatory activities. There are three levels of PSA, being performed for full power and low power operation and shutdown operating modes of the plants: level 1, 2 and 3 PSA. The nuclear regulatory authorities do not require the level 3 PSA for the plants in the member countries of the European Union. This means that only a limited number of NPPs in Europe have the level 3 PSA available. However, in the light of the Fukushima accident the performance of such analyses is strongly recommended in the future. This book is intended for professionals working in the nuclear industry, researchers and students interested in safety of operational plants. 606 $aNuclear energy 606 $aQuality control 606 $aReliability 606 $aIndustrial safety 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aNuclear Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/113000 606 $aQuality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22032 606 $aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004 615 0$aNuclear energy. 615 0$aQuality control. 615 0$aReliability. 615 0$aIndustrial safety. 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 14$aNuclear Energy. 615 24$aQuality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk. 615 24$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes. 676 $a333.7924 676 $a519.2 676 $a621.042 676 $a658.56 700 $aKovacs$b Zoltan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0270319 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299617803321 996 $aProbabilistic Safety Assessment of WWER440 Reactors$92162304 997 $aUNINA
