Rebollo Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Calle Alenza 4, 28003 Madrid, Spain a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: The Westinghouse AP1000 reactor is an advanced design whose safety systems are mainly passive Received 6 July 2016 safety systems. Due to the passive nature of the safety related systems and its dependency on small Received in revised form 23 December 2016 changes on certain variables (e.g. pressure, friction coefficients) together with the use of a simplified code Accepted 1 February 2017 like MAAP in Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) analyses, it makes necessary to confirm that when core Available online 21 February 2017 cooling is achieved, thermal-hydraulic (T/H) uncertainties are bounded. The T/H uncertainty evaluation process performed by Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC) identified the low-margin sequences (core Keywords: uncovery) by expanding PRA Event Trees (ETs). The expanded ETs allowed finding the low-margin risk- AP1000 important sequences and then
