Usually, reactor safety analyses are based on the traditional conservative deterministic approach. An alternative approach to reactor safety analyses uses best estimate computer codes in combination with quantification of uncertainties in model and plant parameters. The German Gesellschaft für Anlagen- und Reaktorsicherheit (GRS) has applied the methodology of uncertainty analysis based on the Wilks’ approach. According to this approach, the number of calculations required to perform a probabilistic estimation of an output parameter with a given coverage/confidence level (e.g., 95%/95%) does not depend on the number of input uncertainty parameters. In this paper, the results of an uncertainty analysis for a Large Break LOCA scenario for a generic German PWR of the Konvoi design are reported. All calculations were performed using the system code ATHLET Mod 2.2 Cycle A. The EXCEL-integrated software SUSA developed by GRS was used for generation of the uncertainty parameter vectors, their incorporation into ATHLET input files and for statistical evaluation of the results.
