Abstract

In the process of consequence analysis for PSA, simplification on fault tree converted from event trees was done in order to reduce the scale of fault trees. A three-step algorithm was presented based on the theory of consequence analysis. In addition, considering the inconvenience of FAUNET for some specific consequence fault tree structure, a new absorption algorithm was introduced. The algorithms were implemented in the home-developed PSA code RiskA. The comparative analysis of some examples shows that the methods are effective.
