Reliability Data for Nuclear Power Plant Components - Analysis for 2004 (TW 804)

The aim of the report is to provide reliability data that can be used in ongoing and future probabilistic safety analyses (PSA) conducted by the owners/operators of nuclear power plants. The Centralized Reliability and Events Database (ZEDB) gathers and analyzes operating experience gained at a large number of nuclear power plants. The ZEDB use the two-stage Bayesian models to calculate plant-specific and generic reliability data. The report includes the general descriptions of ZEDB database and methodology of analysis as well as the results of analysis. The data tables consist of three parts: a characterization of the component population, a list of the determined generic values, and a list of the determined plant-specific values. The publication of the English edition is under way.
