본 논문에서는 기존의 PSA기법인 사건수목/고장수목의 단점을 보완한 동적 신뢰성 평가도구인 DYLAM방법론을 이용해서 참조원전$^{[1]}$ 소외전원 상실사고시 노심노출 사고발생 빈도를 평가하였다. 부분충수 운전시 발생될 수 있는 노심의 노출을 예방하기 위한 운전원의 여러가지 조치들의 오류가능성애 대한 민감도 계산을 수행하였다. 민감도 분석의 결과 일차 충전 및 유출운전 (Feed and B띤) 인적오류가 노심노출 사고발생 빈도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었으며 정지생각계통 기능회복을 위한 조치는 상대적으로 적은 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 정지/저출력으로 운전하는 부분충수 운전시 전 출력에 비하여 노심노출올 무시할 수 없음도 보여주었다.

The recent Fukushima nuclear power plant accidents shows that the core make up at high RCS pressure condition is very important to prevent core melting. The core make up flow at high pressure condition should be driven by gravity force or passive forces because the AC-powered safety features are not available during a Station Black Out (SBO) accident. The reactor Coolant System (RCS) mass inventory is continuously decreased by releasing steam through the pressurizer safety valves after reactor trip during a SBO accident. The core will be melted down within 2~3 hours without core make up action by active or passive mode. In the new design concept of a Hybrid Safety Injection Tank (Hybrid SIT) both for low and high RCS pressure conditions, the low pressure nitrogen gas serves as a charging pressure for a LBLOCA injection mode, while the PZR high pressure steam provides an equalizing pressure for a high pressure injection mode such as a SBO accident. After the pressure equalizing process by battery driven initiation valve at a high pressure SBO condition, the Hybrid SIT injection water will be passively injected into the reactor downcomer by gravity head. The SBO simulation by MARS code show that the core makeup injection flow through the Hybrid SIT continued up to the SIT empty condition, and the core heatup is delayed as much.
