• Core Damage Frequency (CDF)
• Large Early Release Frequency (LERF)
• Conduct reliability sensitivity and uncertainty analyses.

2. Risk-Informed Reactor Design Support

• Apply probabilistic risk insights to support reactor design optimization.
• Evaluate safety impacts of system architecture changes and design modifications.
• Identify potential risk contributors and recommend mitigation strategies.
• Support integration between PSA results and engineering design decisions.

3. Nuclear Safety Analysis & Licensing Support

• Prepare PSA-related technical documentation and safety analysis reports.
• Support regulatory review processes and licensing submissions.
• Respond to technical questions from regulatory authorities and independent safety reviewers.
• Ensure compliance with international nuclear safety requirements and risk assessment practices.

4. Severe Accident & Safety System Analysis

• Support severe accident analysis and risk evaluation activities.
• Analyze:
• Emergency cooling systems
