RWT rupture is assumed to fail shutdown cooling. This seems overly conservative. Without make-up the level in the RCS would drop, but there is more than enough fluid in the Boric Acid Tanks and the VCT to restore this level. The level does not need to be fully restored to allow shutdown cooling. The level need only be above the hot leg.
Estimated Level Drop 2250 psia at 600 F (0.0217 ft113/lbm) to 100 psia at 300F (0.01766 ft113/lbm).
Given RCS liquid volume of 10,400 ft113, this means approximately 18,500 gallons are required to restore the PRZ level. Each Boric Acid Tank contains 9700 gallons the VCT contains 4000 gallons. Fully PRZ level is not required full shutdown cooling when core damage is the alternative.

The model change may have favorable impact on RICT calculations impacting Charging System.

The current working model for Unit 1 was revised to credit Low Pressure Feed to S/Gs. The change favorably impacts RICT calculations associated
AS-08 AS-A5 Using condensate pumps to feed the SG's is in both EOP 6 'Total Loss of Feed' and EOP-15
'Functional Recovery Procedure'. Operations is directed to use low pressure feed in 1-EOP-06 (Step 8.8.3.1).
Crediting low-pressure feed will eliminate those core damage sequences where the MFW pumps are lost, but the condensate pumps are available.
If the TBVs are not available, then the hot well make-up control system (or an operation action) must be modeled to incorporate this alternative.
Adding LPF could reduce dependency on Once Through Cooling for a number of accident sequences.

Check Valves 09294 and 09252 are common for both AFW, MFW, and Low Pressure Feed.
These CKVs currently appear only in the AFW system. The may be some events (e.g. LOL) where the turbine trips and steam generator pressure rises enough to cause the closure of these check valves.

Document PSL-1 FJR-03-009 was reviewed. There is no documentation of the logic changes made to resolve this F&O in the referenced calculation. It is unclear which check valve CCF combinations are appropriate to consider. The fault tree was reviewed and a CCF module was added to the model in the common cause ates. This F&O is considered to L-2018-215 Page 2 of36 with only small portion scenarios associated with Total Loss of Feed and does not significantly impact overall CDF/LERF scenarios.

AS-12 AS-A5 secondary side heat removal.
Currently, these CKVs are modeled under FMM1SGCVLV.
This event has a failure probability far lower than several three element CKV groups in the AFW system. There does not appear to be a basis for this difference. The failure likelihoods (independent and common cause) of the check valves in the AFW system should be consistent or the basis for the difference is documented.
Further, as the random failure of these CKVs could cause a LOFW trip and eliminate all secondary side feed to a single S/G, this is worthy of consideration as an initiating event.
Currently, shutdown cooling is credited as a long-term cooling method to eliminate the re-circulation requirement on certain ranges of LOCA breaks.
A certain amount of water must be above the bottom of the hot leg to avoid drawing vapor into the shutdown cooling system.
Some calculation must be done to ensure that the RCS will be above this critical point.
This calculation could be quite simple: determine the RCS water level at the point of shutdown Disposition and Resolution of Open F&Os Finding.Resolutions Provided to Independent Review For Finding Closure This finding was reviewed and closed with no further action.
To enter SOC during the course of mitigating a LOCA, an RCS level of 30% in the Pressurizer is required by EOP-3. Further, once SOC has been entered AOP-03-02 requires OTC to be re-established if RCS level falls below 29 feet 9.5 inches (Top of Hot Leg). Operation of SOC in the above referenced condition is procedurally not allowed and physically not possible. Therefore the question is highly hypothetical and not applicable at PSL.
The response for resolution is inadequate. The LOCA for which SOC is used needs documentation that the RWST is still available for makeup. If the RWST is depleted, then the only other source for water for long term cooling would be the containment sumps. The containment sumps can only supply water via recirculation.
The AS notebook should document the basis for the range of LOCA sizes that can credit SOC for long-term cooling. This F&O is considered to still be L-2018-215 Page 3 o£36

Finding AS-12 will be closed in accordance with Appendix X to NEI 05-04, NEI 07-12 and NEI 12-13, "Close-out of Facts and Observations."
AS-13 AS-A2 cooling entry conditions, determine the leakage rate at the point, verify the RCS level will be adequate for the remaining part of the 24 hr mission without re-circulation or RCS make-up.
If this is not true, then addition make-up must be modeled through the emergency sump or eves.
The PORVs are only assumed to lift given total loss of secondary side heat removal or a loss of load with no anticipatory trip.
This appears non-conservative.
The only loss of load trips considered are TT and loss of off-site power trips. This is based on an informal calculation that shows the RCS pressure exceeds 2300 psia, but stays below the PORV open set point of 2400 psia. This does not consider variations in the time delay between the turbine trip and the reactor trip nor does it consider variations in the PRZ pressure set point. Consideration of these variables may lead the analyst to conclude that the likelihood of a PORV lift during this condition is much larger than analyzed.
Further, the portion of the tree (under Gate U 1 QT99) that models the circuitry associated with the antici ato tri onl Disposition and Resolution of Open F&Os This finding has been resolved and closed by an update to the model/documentation.

open, pending incorporation of documentation.
The PRA model fault tree was reviewed. It was confirmed that several other initiators other than loss of load and loss of offsite power would cause the PORVs to lift. This was determined by reviewing the logic under gate U 1 QT03 and the A TWS logic (U1 P01). However, the use of a single event ('NLCD1TURB') for the anticipatory trip function was not addressed. No documentation for the basis for this event is included in the notebook. Until the anticipatory trip is modeled in more detail or further documentation of the basis for a single event is provided, this F&O is considered to be open.
L-2018-215 Page 4 of 36 The current working model is revised to increase fidelity and level of details associated with anticipatory trip function. There is no impact on RICT calculation. The current working model will be revised prior to use for RICT calculations.
- 4. Implementation Item:
Model revision and associated documentation are an implementation item.
DA-C14-01 DA-C14 contains a single basic event. No other support system dependencies appear. For example, does the status of pressurizer spray affect this calculation? Are there support system failures that could cause a loss of load and disable or degrade the anticipatory trip function?
It appears that the treatment of coincident unavailability for inter-systems was considered.
However, there was no clear documentation to demonstrate such treatment.
Coincident unavailability due to maintenance for different trains of the same system (intra-system) is not allowed by established plant procedures.
Therefore, the calculation of coincident unavailabilities for intra-systems as a result of planned and repetitive activities was not calculated. There was no clear documentation on the treatment of coincident unavailability for inter-systems.
Discussion with the utility PRA staff indicated that review of the plant operating history was performed to identify potential coincident unavailability for inter-systems. No such unavailabilities were identified. The PRA staff also demonstrated that the PRA Disposition and Resolution of Open F&Os Finding.ResolUtions Provided to Independent Re'/iewFo(Finding Closure This finding was reviewed and closed with no further action.
This SR requires "EXAMINING" coincident unavailability due to maintenance for redundant equipment (both intrasystem and intersystem) that is a result of a planned, repetitive activity based on actual plant experience. The key words here are "PLANNED" and "REPETITIVE". At PSL, there is no coincident unavailability of "PLANNED" and "REPETITIVE" maintenance for redundant equipment (both intrasystem and intersystem) to be allowed, per plant T/S, procedure, guidelines, and instructions.
Table (A-1) in PSL-BFJR-06-008 Rev.5 provides justification for lack of inter-system unavailability.
There are some non-staggered tasks which could be done at the same time so it looks like there are some inter-system maintenance which could be done at the same time. Non-staggered tasks are also identified in Table (2) of the same report.
However, the resolution should point to the administrative procedures that preclude such coincident unavailability. Further, the discussions referred to in the GDOC Description should be documented somewhere in the actual data notebook. This F&O should remain open.

For pre-initiator HEPs, PSL-BFJR-08-003, Revision 1 was reviewed along with the PSL GDOC draft revision (rev. 1) that provides the updated closure basis for this finding. A spot-check of the Unit 1 and 2 pre-initiator mean values identified in Tables 19 and 20 of document 08-003-Rev.1 were checked against the CAFTA.rr basic events for consistency. All basic event values input to the CAFTA model were found to be consistent.
For post-initiator HEPs, PSL-BFJR-15-014, the RR file and the recovery file were reviewed. For these HEPs, there were still inconsistencies. This F&O is considered to still be open.

At best the documentation process for revising the PSL Model Update Reports is confusing. The revisions of these reports are stand-alone documents and the information is not carried forward in successive revisions.

The inconsistency between the EF discussed in the post-initiator HRA notebook (table 9 in Section 3.3) and the actual CAFT A file does not allow a correct uncertainty analysis.
Table 9 states that generic Error Factors are used, but there are no error factors in the BE file, so it is unclear how the error factors are propagated. Also, the Combination events, and the renamed post-initiator single events are not included in the BE file so it is unclear how their error factors are included in the analysis - or if they are even considered.

However, based on discussions with knowledgeable staff, there is no positive means to know that more than one isolation valve is actually holding.

Closure This finding was resolved by analysis update document developed by RSC (document RSC 14-05 Rev 0). See also Calc PSL-BFJR-15-014, Rev 2 2.1 of the RSC report says, "The scope of the modeling change was limited to the development of the specific scenarios defined by the existing study. The screening process was not revised and the data utilized is the same as for the existing study." Based on this, previous screening of penetrations has not been superseded and there is no evidence that a quantitative basis has been provided to support the screening as required by the SR.
This F&O should remain open.
PSL document RSC 14-05, "Inter-Systems LOCA Update", was reviewed. The RSC document models appears to adequately account for the status of each isolation valve when estimating the ISLOCA frequency. However, PSL-BFJR-15-014 Rev. 2 does not include evidence that the quantitative screening criteria was addressed in this document.
Therefore this F&O is considered to still be open, pending reconciliation of the PRA documentation to reflect the changes made to the model.

Comments Although the 2012 QU notebook attempts to address all of the QU documentation requirements, some of the required evaluations (e.g., Sections 7.1, "Significant Accident Sequence Review", 7.2, "Importance Measures Review and Comparison", and 7.5, "Non-Significant Accident Sequence Review") are addressed using only summary discussions that don't provide any details as to the methods used, what was reviewed, etc. Additional details should be provided to more fully meet the QU SR documentation requirements.
The F&O concerns the lack of parametric uncertainty analyses for the PSL quantification results.
However, the F&O references AS-85 and 86, which do not pertain to uncertainty analysis; it is assumed that the SR references are incorrect.

explanation for their absence is provided. Common cause contributors to the loss of ICW are judged to be both credible and potentially risk-significant.
This judgment is based on the failure of a intake screen reported in LER 84-09, 1011/84 (Unit 1), the fact that these issues are addressed in the plant Off-Nominal Operating Procedure 064030, and that data is available for both of these failures in the NRC CCF database. Given that common cause is likely to be a dominant contributor to the loss of ICW and that the nominal loss of ICW frequency is judged to be very low (-1 E-5/rx-yr), the modeling of the loss of ICW initiating event is judged to not meet SR IE-A6 for any CC level on CCF.

environmental impacts has been assessed; however these impacts are included in the loss of ICW mitigative fault tree and are not included in the loss of ICW initiating event fault tree so as to avoid "double counting" of the impact. Because of the suspected double counting issue, the PSL PRA model does not include consideration of CCFs in any of the initiating event fault trees. This appears to be contrary to general industry practice and guidance contained in EPRI TR-1016741, "Support System Initiating Events", and WCAP-16872 "Pilot Implementation of EPRI Guidance for Fault Tree Modeling of Support Systems Initiating Events". This guidance suggests that CCF event combinations associated with operating equipment are assigned a mission time of one year and combinations of CCF events of secondary standby equipment are assigned a mission time as appropriate (e.g., mean time to repair).

SY-12 AS-A10 It appears that in general key control systems in the St. Lucie Plant are not modeled. In the fault tree the AFW flow control system is demanded 3 times, but the basis for using 3 demands is unclear. No analysis has been done to determine the number of cycle the AFW system will undergo. Further, the common cause MOV demand failure rate does only considers a single demand.
The model does not differentiate between an overfill and under fill.
Overfills in general could lead to the failure of the turbine driven AFWpumps.
Note: If the MOVs are demanded twice, it is doubtful that the failure likelihood would double.
But it is also clear the failure likelihood will increase. Given the importance of the AFW Disposition and Resolution of Open F&Os This finding was reviewed and closed with no further action.
Per discussions with operations personnel, AFAS would start pumps and open flow valves to provide AFW flow to SGs. Small adjustments to valve position over time would be performed by the operator to maintain desired SG level. There would not be a series of valve open and close cycles. It is judged that the assumed 3 valve cycles would be adequate to capture or bound the total valve failure prob.
Independent Review Comments the current CCF modeling approach to the initiating event fault trees.
Documents PSL-PRA-SNBK-AFW and PLS-BFJR-02-027 were reviewed. Neither document discusses the justification for using 3 demands for the failure calculation. It should be noted that the AFW valves cycle open and close to supply the SG and are not open throttled valves.
The basis for the 3x demand on the AFW discharge valves should be explained in the documentation and may not be accurate. Also, the logic that opens and closes these valves is not modeled. This F&O has not been addressed. This F&O is considered to still be open.

As noted in the main Flooding Analysis document, no condition reports that would reflect such problems, associated with the possibility that plant design and operating practices might affect the likelihood of flooding, were to be found. This possibility was reviewed with experienced plant staff after the peer review that identified one issue "the periodic transfer of waste water from Unit 2 to Unit 1." The document was further revised to address the issue. PSL-BFJR-11-006, Rev 0 PSL-BFJR-11-006 Rev. 0 were reviewed. This F&O is very similar to F&O IE-51. In general, human-induced flooding is not considered in the analysis. Only a single type of human-induced flood (transfer of waste water) was considered credible and this was screened from further consideration. The fact that a human-induced flood has not occurred at PSL to-date is not sufficient rationale to screen such events from consideration.
The GDOC does state in the resolution that plant personnel were interviewed and plant procedures were reviewed. The result of this work was that human induced floods could not occur at PSL.

IFPP-B1-01 IFPP-A5 The documentation associated with the plant partitioning is scattered between the initial portion of the document and the walkdown report in Attachment B, which in reality is a discussion of the screening of main structures such as major structures.
The walkdown report does not include any explanatory picture and mixes the definition of the area and their screening, without spelling out the generic criteria used for the screening of specific structures. This organization of the information is prone to confusion; moreover, since the area identification and the screening are mixed, some overlook have been noticed. For example, the walkdown notes explicitly mention which bldg.

No flood zones or flood sources located within the reactor auxiliary building were screened out. The flooding analysis document was further revised to address flooding originating in the other buildings or areas even if this is not truly "internal" flooding. These do not result in additional scenarios that need be quantified as no previously unaddressed reactor scram need ensue after such an event. This SR explicitly requires discussing other than spray/submergence failure modes. PSL-BFJR-11-005 to remain open.
PSL-BFJR-11-005 Rev. 0 and PSL-BFJR-11-006 Rev. 0 were reviewed. The flooding analysis report (PSL-BFJR-11-005) now includes some additional discussion of other plant buildings (such as the EDG buildings, CCW building, etc.). The discussions in Section 4.4 of the notebook address the "other buildings" concerns noted in this F&O.
However, section 5.3 of PSL-BFJR-11-005 states: "applied-all flooding scenarios excepting those originating in small diameter domestic water lines and drain lines were considered."
This is a screening criteria but it is too general to be acceptable.
The pipe size (i.e. 1" or smaller) should be specified. Also, the screening criteria in general are used but do not appear to be consistently applied. This F&O is considered to still be open.

(DG are air cooled); there is nevertheless no mention of the potential spray effects of Fire Protection system on a single DG (FP lines have been noticed during the walkdown that may have the potential to spray on the DG cabinet). While the screening of the DG BLD may still be possible (FP lines may be dry since there are large FP valves immediately outside of the DG building that may be deluge valve, or the DG AOT may be sufficient to recover from a spray event on the DG cabinet), the presence of a flood source that has the potential for impacting PRA equipment needs to be addressed.
The screening out of the Turbine Building is another example of screening process inconsistent with the screening criteria provided in the standard.

Finally, section 4.1.1 points to the walkdown notes but incorrectly indicating Attachment C rather than Attachment B.
Some inconsistencies in the mapping between the flood events and the basic events associated with impacted equipment has been identified.
According to table 20, the top cutsets have to do with A TWS induced by a spray event on the reactor trip switchgear. Spray on the reactor trip switchgear would result in loss of power, which would result in the trip itself.
Therefore, even though the reactor trip switchgears are actually impacted by the spray event, the flood initiator needs not to be mapped with the basic event associated with the Disposition ahd Resolution of Open* F&Os This finding was reviewed and closed with no further action.
Mapping between impacted components and associated basic events was reviewed to ensure that the flood induce failure is consistent with the failure mode modeled in the PRA model.

The scenario referenced in the second part of the review comment does not involve a spray in rooms The results presented in the flooding quantification notebook were reviewed. The Unit 1 results no longer show a flood-induced ATWS as a dominant contributor; however, failures of both trains of batteries (due to a potential spray event, as well as a flood event) continue to dominate.
While the flood event may be credible, a spray event that fails both trains of DC seems conservative. For Unit 2, flood-induced ATWS remains a contributor, so it is not clear if the Unit 2 models were updated, or if this is the result in unit differences.

A spray from room 1 RAB43-59/58 is not expected to impact both trains since the originating room only hosts 1 train of batteries No evidence was provided to indicate that human-induced mechanisms were considered to determine their impact as potential sources of flooding.

These scenarios are for a hydrogen fire associated with the turbine generator. Since the turbine generator is in an open environment, the risk impact of this scenario is minimal.
Recommend either postulating H2 fires or developing a stronger technical justification for their exclusion.
PSL did not appear consider all pump lube oil fire scenarios (e.g., AFW pumps, Charging Pumps, HPSI pumps, LPSI pumps, MFW pumps, etc.).
These scenarios often involve significant quantities of oil causing widespread damage in the fire compartment. They can also contribute to multi-compartment fire risk.
Note that some lube oil scenarios appear to have been considered by PSL. Specifically, MFW and turbine lube oil fires were postulated. In speaking with the analysts, they indicated that other pumps tend not to have large quantities of lube oil and that source-target data for oil scenarios was often collected during walkdowns. However, there was little documentation of this, and very few oil scenarios were quantified in FRANC.
PSL did not postulate H2 fires These systems are provided with pressure monitoring, guard piping and excess flow check valves which preclude the release of a significant quantity of hydrogen which could cause a challenging fire. The design basis for these lines in the event of a complete line break is for the hydrogen concentration to be limited to no more than 2% hydrogen (Unit 1 UFSAR Appendix 9.5A Section 3.15.2 and Unit 2 UFSAR Appendix 9.5A Section 3.15.1). This is a safety factor of 2 to the flammable limit for hydrogen in air. Therefore, based on these design features no specific scenarios associated with a miscellaneous hydrogen fire are postulated.

A review of the fire scenarios for pumps containing significant quantities of oil identified existing scenarios for the Circulating Water Pumps, Main Feedwater Pumps, Heater Drain Pumps and Condensate pumps. A comparison between Unit 1 and Unit 2 scenarios were identified with the "H2" designation in the report and the FRANX model.
PSL-BFJR-16-040, PSL Fire PRA Task 1 & 6 Plant Partitioning and FIF, was reviewed to determine where the fire frequency for bin 34, Turbine Generator Hydrogen, was accounted for. This frequency was documented in fire zones 1-23 & 2-47(8) the LP Heater Area for Units 1 & 2 respectively; however no fire scenario with this ignition frequency applied could be found in the scenario report or FRANX model.
Sections 6.5 & 6.6.3 of the scenario development report describes the treatment of oil spill fires. Fire ignition frequency for Bin 35, Turbine Generator Oil, is documented in two fire zones, 1-13 & 2-11 the Turbine Lube Oil Reservoir for Units 1 and 2 respectively, but no scenarios in those fire zones have a Bin 35 contribution to their fire ignition frequency. In addition, only the RCP fires were identified in the report. The documentation of the oil fires in the PRA model is not L-2018-215 Page 28 o£36 Implementation Item:

FSS-H1-01 FSS-H1 and oil fires as specified by NUREG/CR-6850, and minimal basis for this deviation was provided. These fires can be risk significant due to the potential for widespread damage in the fire compartment.
In several cases, PSL implemented methods beyond those available in beyond industry accepted guidance documents (e.g., NUREG/CR-6850 and its supplements). For example, PSL created their own multipliers I severity factors for fires that cause damage beyond the ignition source by reviewing the EPRI Fire Events Database.
A second example is that PSL modeled transient fires using the motor fire heat release rate distribution, which is much smaller than the transient fire distribution. A third example is identified several missing scenarios for Unit 2 which were walked down and added to the Fire PRA. Diesel generator fire scenarios are base scenarios which include the impact of a fire given that all targets in the room are impacted. Main, Auxiliary and Startup Transformer scenarios are included in the current Fire PRA, as is a turbine generator related fire.

The use of the 69 kW HRR for transient fires has been limited to those fire zones in which "zero transients" are allowed in order to account for the potential violation of the administrative controls.

open due to the identified issues with both hydrogen and oil fires.
PSL-BFJR-16-042, PSL Fire PRA Scenario Development, was reviewed. The report no longer has a reference to the use of un-reviewed methods in the fire PRA model. Section 7.1 describes the treatment of transient HRRs. The use of 69kW transient fires was eliminated and replaced with the accepted 317kW fires from NUREG/CR 6850. Only fire zones in which "zero transient" combustible controls are in place use a 69kW heat release rate for transient fires. Section 8.1 describes the application of severity factors based on L-2018-215 Page 29 of 36 This is a documentation issue.

While these methods seem appropriate, documentation of the technical bases for these methods was generally lacking.
Methods beyond industry accepted guidance (e.g.,
NUREG/CR-6850 and its supplements) should have documented technical bases of similar quality and magnitude to those provided in NUREG/CR-6850.
Also, PSL should be aware that methods beyond industry accepted guidance documents may be viewed critically by the NRC.
While these methods seem appropriate, the level of documentation provided did not allow detailed review by the peer reviewers. In addition, methods beyond industry accepted guidance (e.g., NUREG/CR-6850 and its supplements) should have documented Finding Resolutions Provided to Independent Review ForFinding Closure incident on a target due to the fire.
The time to HGL evaluates the volume temperature effects due to the fire.
The LAR-submitted model used the approach that these two analyses were independent of each other and therefore one was not conditioned on. the other. The updated approach, generated to support the RAJ responses considers the two analyses as dependent. Since the time to target damage in most cases is less than the time to HGL, the time to HGL is conditioned on the time to target damage. For example, consider a time to target damage of 5 minutes and a time to HGL of 30 minutes, in the context of the event tree in Figure 1. The first node, event MSI, represents the time to target damage. Using the manual nonsuppression (MS) distribution from NUREG/CR-6850, Supplement 1, Chapter 14 with a lambda value of 0.102 (electrical fires), the MSI probability is 0.602.
The second node, event MS2, represents the time to HGL and is conditioned on the first node. In technical bases of similar quality order to condition MS2 on MS 1, factors was eliminated and wall/corner factors were applied as appropriate. Section 7.5 states that the use of location factors has not been applied to increase heat release rates used in the model, and this section needs to be updated to reflect the adjustment factors used in the final PRA model. This F&O is considered to remain open, pending revision of the section 7.5 discussion.

In this example that would leave 25 minutes available for MS2, which, using NUREG/CR-6850, Supplement 1, Chapter 14, has an MS value of 0.079. Figure 1 in L-2014-1 09 (pg. 52) shows the resulting fire scenario MS values for the three respective fire scenarios applying the node MSI and MS2 values. The HGL fire scenario gets a 0.0474 MS value, which corresponds to a 30-minute non-suppression probability.
The minimum manual non-suppression probability used is 0.001.
ii. Reliability and unavailability of automatic detection systems were assumed in the LAR submitted model to be incorporated in the manual non-suppression probabilities specified in NUREG/CR-6850, Appendix P, as revised in NUREG/CR-6850, Supplement 1. Reliability of automatic suppression systems was based on values specified in NUREG/CR-6850, while availability was not considered to impact the reliability data given that plant L-2018-215 Page 31 of 36
Disposition and Resolutio.n of0pel1 F&Os procedures specify compensatory actions to be implemented when the systems are not available. In order to address the concern that the information inherent in the NUREG/CR-6850 data may not be bounding, the model has been updated to incorporate this additional failure potential. The scenario development event tree incorporates an additional node, before any suppression (manual or automatic) is credited. The event tree detection failure path includes a 15-minute time delay before manual suppression is allowed to be credited (using SOP guidance for detection time for locations without detection systems). Figure 1 in L-2014-109 (pg. 53)shows an event tree without consideration of detection failure. Figure 2 in L-2014-109 (pg. 53) shows the Updated approach which incorporates detection failure. Note that the MS1/MS 15 and MS2/MS_15 values are bounded to a maximum value of 1. This results in zero ignition frequency being applied to the success branch for instances where the time to target damage or time to hot gas layer is less than 15 minutes.

The data used to develop the Halon suppression failure probability included detection failure (smoke detection),
so the detection failure probability by itself is bounded by the Halon failure probability.
NUREG/CR-6850 Appendix P does not specify guidance on thermal detection failure probability, therefore the use of the associated suppression system failure probability is applied to the corresponding detection system.
The failure probability specified in NUREG/CR-6850 Appendix P for deluge or pre-action sprinkler systems is conservatively applied as the failure probability for thermal detectors associated with actuation of a preaction system.
