Calculation of Reliability Data using Two-Stage Bayesian Models T-Book - ZEDB Benchmark - ebook

Both the Swedish PSA database T-Book and the German PSA database ZEDB use two-stage Bayesian models to calculate plant specific and generic reliability data from operational experience (component event data and operating times) of nuclear power plants.

Generally speaking, different assumptions can be made for the hyper distribution and hyper priors for the parameters of the hyper distribution, and these may influence the calculated reliability data. Evaluating the same data sets using the T-Book and the ZEDB approaches provides the opportunity to compare the methodologies.
