A Documented Safety Analysis (DSA) is a Department of Energy (DOE) construct that defines the extent to which a nuclear facility can be operated safely. It includes a description of hazards, safe boundaries, and hazard controls.The authors assert that a Digital Safety Analysis (DgSA) is far superior to a legacy DSA for several reasons:• The underling database is structured such that it is possible to perform a comprehensive design review and safety analysis by iterating systematically across a hierarchy of linked objects versus a redundant and spotty review by entities of various abilities under unknown resource and schedule constraints.• The analysis of a new design can discover elements that are similar to elements in previous designs.
