Dynamic Probabilistic Safety Assessment (DPSA) is an important and viable means to analyze, understand, and thus mitigate risks associated with operating nuclear power plants. This article explains how YAKINDU Statechart Tools help to set up realistic accident models, which allow software used in DPSA, like MAAP5 and RAVEN, to generate all possible accident scenarios as a so-called Dynamic Event Tree (DET).Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) is a process used to identify possible accident sequences in complex systems, like nuclear power p

K. Bingham Cady, professor emeritus of nuclear engineering in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, died Dec. 10 at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. He was 84.
In a career that straddled academia and industry, Cady helped improve the safety of nuclear fission reactors by developing computer modeling software that could simulate – and assess the risk of – how reactors respond to operational fluctuations and accidents. Provided
K. Bingham Cady, professor emeritus of nuclear engineering in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, died Dec. 10 at the age of 84.
“He was part of a generation of reactor theorists that was trained at a remarkably deep level, in large part because they did their Ph.D.’s directly under people who came out of the Manhattan Project, and so were the founders of the field, or they had worked with the students or postdocs of those people,” said former student Mark Deinert ’96
