Assessment of the Reliability of the Steel Containment of a PWR by Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics: Distributions of Material Properties and Defect Dimensions

The reliability of the steel containment of the PWR Biblis B is evaluated by probabilistic fracture mechanics [1]: Especially for loss-of-coolant accidents, the conditional failure probability is calculated using the Two- Criteria-Approach.
