The following thesis examines advanced power station with pressurized reactor and the reliability of electrical supply to the control room of the power station.
In the first chapter the issue of energy supply in the light of economic development and mitigation of climate change is introduced.
In the second chapter the basics of nuclear physics are introduced. The physical concept of binding energy is examined.
In the third chapter the basics of reactor physics are presented. Importance of neutron moderation is examined.
In the fourth chapter the fundamentals of reactor safety are presented. The concept of defense in depth and energy sources, which may lead to accident are examined.
In the fifth chapter general design of advanced power station with pressurized reactor is examined, with the emphasis of safety systems.
In the sixth chapter the fault tree method is presented, which was the method used for the analysis of reliability of electrical supply to the control room of the power station. The elements of the fault tree and its construction is examined.
In the seventh chapter the design of the electrical supply to the control room of the advanced power station is examined and the results of the analysis of its reliability. The result of the loss of electrical power to the control room shows the necessity to incorporate modeling of common cause failures and risk of human factor in the analysis with the fault tree method.
