PFHA Tools — Stochastic Event Flood Models (SEFM / RORB_MC)
The Stochastic Event Flood Model and the Stochastic Runoff Routing Monte Carlo model are stochastic event-based simulation platforms used to develop probabilistic flood hazard assessments for nuclear power plant sites. These tools move beyond the traditional Probable Maximum Flood paradigm by estimating the full probability distribution of flood levels, including the likelihood of exceeding the PMF, and explicitly characterizing aleatory variability and epistemic uncertainty.
