| The regulatory activity requires the oversight of licensee performance to be made from an independent position. This position is better served when the regulatory body develops its own methodologies and tools. In particular in the matter of probabilistic risk analysis, even if the licensees’ analyses are subject to peer-review and/or are reviewed by the regulatory body, it is very difficult to manage the large amount of hypothesis and assumptions behind the model. Thus, the development of a PRA model for regulatory use improves the knowledge of the NPP risks and can be seen as an enhancement of the regulatory practice. On this regard, the Spanish Regulatory Body (CSN), in collaboration with the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), has developed its own generic standardized model (SPAR-CSN) for 3-loop PWR-WEC designs. The present paper shows an example of the application of the model in an event occurred in a nuclear power plant. |

Lead Author Name: Enrique Meléndez-Asensio (ema@csn.es)
Bio: Enrique has a degree in Mathematics and a second degree in Physics from the Complutense University in Madrid. At CSN, after an initial involvement with transient and severe accident simulation, he has tackled PRA methods, including PSA model reviews and assessment, performing Accident Precursor Analysis for incidents occurred at Spanish plants, overseeing the development and application of an MSPI indicator for the Spanish regulatory system, and has developed methods and applications for dynamic PSA analyses. He is now project manager for the development of a CSN-sponsored, simplified PRA model for a Spanish NPP.
