The Open PSA Initiative for next generation probabilistic safety assessment
-
S. Epstein
Abstract
The Open PSA Initiative round table discussion session is to bring the PSA community up-to-date on our meetings, workshops, and working groups during the last year. We will have members of the initiative speak on their point of view of the initiative, what they have gained, and where we as a group want to go during the next year. The main idea is to use appropriate modules of different computer codes for a specific purpose which requires a common platform and a common PSA format. In this short paper we introduce our main project for this year: the Open PSA Model Exchange Format.
Kurzfassung
Die Idee der Open PSA-Initiative mit umfassenden Diskussionsrunden war die Einbeziehung von PSA-Experten aus aller Welt in den letzten Jahren mit dem Ziel, eine neue Generation von Rechenprogrammen und Methoden parallel zu den existierenden nutzen zu können bzw. Vorteile bestimmter Module in anderen Rechenprogrammen bei weiterer Verwendung des jeweiligen Standardprogramms nutzen zu können. Das erfordert aber eine gemeinsame Plattform und ein gemeinsames PSA-Format. Dieses Projekt wird in diesem Papier beschrieben.
