This paper presents a methodology for reliability allocation that can be applied to determine the reliability characteristics of reactor systems or subsystems. The dualistic contrast,known as one of the most powerful tools for optimization problems,is applied to the reliability allocation model of a typical system in this article. And the fault tree analysis,deemed to be one of the effective methods of reliability analysis,is also adopted. Thus a failure rate allocation model based on the fault tree analysis and dualistic contrast is achieved. An application on the emergency diesel generator in the nuclear power plant is given to illustrate the proposed method.展开更多
