Abstract

In order to calculate the more accurate top event probability from cutsets or minimal cut sets (MCSs) than the conventional method that adopts the rare event approximation (REA) or min cut upper bound (MCUB) calculation, advanced cutset upper bound estimator (ACUBE) software had been developed several years ago and shortly became a vital tool for calculating the accurate core damage frequency of nuclear power plants in probabilistic safety assessment (PSA).
