Within SINTAP, a probabilistic procedure has been developed by SAQ Kontroll AB. The procedure can be used to calculate failure probabilities under two conditions: when a defect size is obtained from non-destructive testing (NDT)I non-destructive examination (NDE) or when no defect is detected by NDT/NDE. A computer program based on this procedure, ProSINTAP, has been developed. This program is also able to estimate partial safety factors from the input target failure probability and characteristic values for fracture toughness, yield strength, tensile strength and defect depth. Extensive validation has been carried out, using the computer programs STAR6 from Nuclear Electric and SACC from SAQ Kontroll AB. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
