Abstract

It is investigated for the seismic consequences in the nuclear power plant (NPP) where the radiological hazard could be one of critical issues when the safety system is in failure. The artificial learning is done during the calculations of each time step. There are the simulations for the artificial neural networking (ANN) as the precision, sensitivity (recall value), specificity, and accuracy which are 21.48%, 50.53%, 25.47%, and 32.68% respectively. Likewise, the recurrent neural network (RNN) modeling has 23.64%, 54.53%, 25.56%, and 34.17% respectively. In the comparisons for ANN and RNN, the values of ANN’s parameters are lower than those of RNN in all values of precision, recall, specificity, and accuracy. As the designed factors for the nuclear matters increase, the estimations could be better in considering the conditional situations.
