Bridging the Gap Between Model‐based Systems Engineering Methodologies and Their Effective Practice – A Case Study on Nuclear Power Plants Systems Engineering

ABSTRACT This article presents a case study on applying model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) methodologies under real‐life conditions. We present how engineers tailored existing MBSE methods and tools to both address the complexity factors of nuclear power plants engineering, and to contribute to the comprehensiveness of the design and safety assessment. We also provide feedback on the application of MBSE approaches and their key benefits on projects’ execution.
