본 연구에서 기기 지진취약도 정보의 부분 종속 관계를 정확하게 고려할 수 있는 샘플링 기반 지진 확률론적 리스크 평가 정량화 기법을 개발하였다. 구체적으로 두 가지 대표적 방법론인 EPRI 지진취약도 입력기반 정량화 방법과 JAERI 지진취약도 입력기반 정량화 기법의 장점을 결합하여 리스크 정량화 방법를 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법의 가장 중요한 특징은 EPRI 지진취약도 입력을 JAERI 지진취약도 입력 공간으로 치환하여 샘플링 방법으로 SPRA 수행하는 것에 있다. 제안된 샘플링기반 접근법을 간단한 예제부터 실제 원전의 지진 확률론적 리스크 평가 문제에 적용한 결과, 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법이 정해에 가까운 시스템 지진취약도 및 지진리스크 값을 산출함을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법론은 기존의 SPRA 정량화 방법이 다룰 수 없는 시스템 내 부분 종속 조건을 고려하여 지진 리스크를 정확하게 평가할 수 있는 유용한 도구로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

To assess the risk of nuclear power plant operation and to determine the risk impact of digital systems, there is a need to quantitatively assess the reliability of the digital systems in a justifiable manner. The Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) is a tool which can reveal shortcomings of the NPP design in general and PRA analysts have not had sufficient guiding principles in modelling particular digital components malfunctions. Currently digital I&C systems are mostly analyzed simply and conventionally in PRA, based on failure mode and effects analysis and fault tree modelling. More dynamic approaches are still in the trial stage and can be difficult to apply in full scale PRA-models. As basic events CPU failures, application software failures and common cause failures (CCF) between identical components are modelled.The primary goal is to model dependencies. However, it is not clear which failure modes or system parts CCF:s should be postulated for. A clear distinction can be made between the treatment of protection and control systems. There is a general consensus that protection systems shall be included in PRA, while control systems can be treated in a limited manner. OECD/NEA CSNI Working Group on Risk Assessment (WGRisk) has set up a task group, called DIGREL, to develop taxonomy of failure modes of digital components for the purposes of PRA. The taxonomy is aimed to be the basis of future modelling and quantification efforts. It will also help to define a structure for data collection and to review PRA studies.

A module or independent subtree is a part of a fault tree whose child gates or basic events are not repeated in the remaining part of the fault tree. Modules are necessarily employed in order to reduce the computational costs of fault tree quantification. This quantification generates fault tree solutions such as minimal cut sets, minimal path sets, or binary decision diagrams (BDDs), and then, calculates top event probability and importance measures. This paper presents a new linear time algorithm to detect modules of large fault trees. It is shown through benchmark tests that the new method proposed in this study can very quickly detect the modules of a huge fault tree. It is recommended that this method be implemented into fault tree solvers for efficient probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) of nuclear power plants.

In recent years, some studies have identified and quantified factors that can increase or decrease the seismic vulnerability of buildings. These modifier factors, related to the building characteristics and condition, are taken into account in the vulnerability assessment, by means of a numerical estimation resulting from the quantification of these modifiers through vulnerability indexes. However, views have differed on the definition and the quantification of modifiers. In this study, modifier parameters and scores of the Risk-UE Level 1 method are adjusted based on the Algerian seismic code recommendations and the reviews proposed in the literature. The adjusted modifiers and scores are applied to reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Boumerdes city, in order to assess probable seismic damage. Comparison between estimated damage and observed damage caused by the 2003 Boumerdes earthquake is done, with the objective to (i) validate the model involving influence of the modifier parameters on the seismic vulnerability, and (ii) to define the relationship between modifiers and damage. This research may help planners in improving seismic regulations and reducing vulnerability of existing buildings.

The vulnerability factor analysis and risk quantification model for aging buildings presented in this study can be utilized by governmental agencies such as the Facility Safety Foundation, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and various local governments. Policymakers can use this to supplement inadequacies in existing checklists, and it is expected that they can proactively prevent risks by evaluating dangers based on specific aging characteristics of buildings.

본 연구는 비교 위험도 평가 기법을 사용하여, 도시 고형 폐기물의 소각에 따른 대기 오염 중 발암성 금속이 호흡기를 통해 소각로 주변 주민에게 미치는 암 위험도를 다옥신과 비교해 평가하였다. 어떤 물질이 인체에 암을 유발할 가능성이 있는 경우, 이 발암성은 물질의 화학적 형태 및 피폭경로에 관련될 지도 모른다. 물질의 발암성에 대한 이러한 사실이 조사되었고 위험도 정량화에 고려되었다. 본 연구 결과, 도시 고형 폐기물의 소각시 방출되는 발암성 금속으로 인한 위험도는 디옥신으로 인한 위험도의 약 5배 정도로 평가되었고, 위험도의 측면에서 가장 중요한 금속은 6가 크롬과 카드뮴인 것으로 판명되었다.

The 'chain reaction' effect of the interaction between wind pressure and windborne debris is likely to be a major cause of damage to residential buildings during severe wind events. The current paper (Part II) concerns the quantification of such pressure-debris interaction in an advanced vulnerability model that integrates the debris risk model developed in Part I and a component-based wind-pressure damage model. This vulnerability model may be applied to predict the cumulative wind damage during the passage of particular hurricanes, to estimate annual hurricane losses, or to conduct system reliability analysis for residential developments, with the effect of windborne debris fully considered.

The choice of input distribution in quantitative risk assessments modeling is of great importance to get unbiased overall estimates, although it is difficult to characterize them in situations where data available are too sparse or small. The present study is particularly concerned with accommodation of uncertainties commonly encountered in the practice of modeling. The authors applied parametric and non-parametric bootstrap simulation methods which consist of re-sampling with replacement, in together with the classical Student-t statistics based on the normal distribution. The implications of these methods were demonstrated through an empirical analysis of trade volume from the amount of chicken and pork meat imported to Korea during the period of 1998-2005. The results of bootstrap method were comparable to the classical techniques, indicating that bootstrap can be an alternative approach in a specific context of trade volume. We also illustrated on what extent the bias corrected and accelerated non-parametric bootstrap method produces different estimate of interest, as compared by non-parametric bootstrap method.

Recently, a large amount of flammable or explosive materials have been handled or stored in chemical industries. H the equipments fail or the materials release in consequence of operation errors, fire and explosion could occur to them. Thus, risk assessment using quantification of risks is very important when design of processes and modifications of installed processes are performed. The purpose of this study is to develop the program for fire and explosion index in order to quantify the expected damage of fire and explosion incidents in chemical plants, to identify equipment that would be likely to contribute to the creation or escalation of an incident, to comunicate the potential fire and explosion risk to management and to account of damage cost.

대형 해양구조물의 건설과 운영에서 중요한 항목 중의 하나가 재해위험도를 분석하고 평가하는 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수중터널의 건설과 운영 시에 발생할 수 있는 재해 위험요소를 도출하고 퍼지 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) 방법으로 이러한 위험요소의 수준을 파악하고자 하였다. 재해 위험도로는 자연재해 위험도와 인적재해 위험도로 구분하고 이러한 위험도 항목들이 수중터널에 미치는 영향을 전문가 설문을 통하여 조사하였다. 조사된 전문가 설문결과 데이터를 퍼지 AHP 기법으로 분석하여 재해위험도를 각 위험요소별로 정량화하였다. 또한, 수중 터널과 교량, 해저터널, 침매터널의 재해위험도 수준을 분석하여 수중터널이 가지고 있는 고유의 재해위험도 수준을 평가하였다. 재해위험도에서는 쯔나미와 지진이 가장 위험도 인식수준이 높았고, 인적재해 위험도는 화재와 폭발의 위험도 인식이 높은 수준이었다. 또한, 수중터널은 침매터널에 비해서는 1.4배, 교량에 비해서는 3.2배 위험도 인식수준이 높은 것으로 조사되었다.
