Abstract
This paper presents a vital area identification method based on the current probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) techniques. The methodology suggested in the present paper is believed to be very consistent and most complete in identifying the vital areas in a nuclear power plant because it is based on the well-proven PSA technology.
