Analysis of dynamic accident progression trees (ADAPT) is a mechanized procedure for the generation of accident progression event trees. Use of ADAPT substantially reduces the manual and computational effort for Level 2 probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) of nuclear power plants; reduces the likelihood of input errors; determines the order of events dynamically; and treats accidents in a phenomenology consistent manner. ADAPT is based on the concept of dynamic event trees which use explicit modeling of the deterministic dynamic processes that take place within the plant (through system simulation codes such as MELCOR, RELAP) for the modeling of stochastic system evolution. The computational infrastructure of ADAPT is presented, along with a prototype implementation of ADAPT using MELCOR for the PRA modeling of a station blackout in a pressurized water reactor. The computational infrastructure allows for flexibility in linking with different simulation codes, parallel processing of the scenarios under consideration, on-line scenario management (initiation as well as termination) and user-friendly graphical capabilities.
