Consider a Core Monitoring System for a Nuclear Reactor with Only

question 8

Short Answer

Consider a core monitoring system for a nuclear reactor with only an ionization chamber (IC), temperature sensor (TS) and pressure sensor (PS). Let us say that the failure probabilities for these subsystems: P(IC) = 0.02; P(TS) = 0.04; and; P(PS) = 0.01; apply Bayes Theorem for determining the probability that the temperature sensor failed during a reactor operation.
