                           ,            Operating Guidelines (ATOG) Program is to provide the operators of 177 fuel assembly plants with operating guidelin< s based on a thorough understanding of many possibl' . event sequences. Event trees will be const acted and computer simulations completed to provide the technical basis for the guidelines.

Guidelines will be prepared specifically for each of seven plants. Development of the event trees and guidelines will require a large amount of plant specific data. EDS Nuclear will collect and present this information using the Safety Sequence Diagram (SSD) and System Auxiliary Diagram (SAD) formats. The purpose of the SSDs will be to provide information about systems designed to perform safety functions mitigating transient consequences. The SADs will provide information about systems necessary for operation of other prime systems, which directly affect plant response. (Conversely, they will provide information about the causes of prime system failure.) The SSDs will provide input data for preparation of the event trees (and, to some extent, the guidelines). The SADs will provide direct input data for preparing the guidelines. The SSDs and SADs will also achieve certam secondary objectives: provide training devices; crass check event trees; and identify possible design deficiencies. The SSD and SAD formats were chosen for several reasons. They contain sufficient data for preparation of event trees or for establishing corrective actions. They provide information in a logical and easily understood form.

                                                                                6 .533 N                 , - - - - . _ye

Nh r;m.m:rxq1mmhcMET2TMFhW MJ h PY.WL~ TMM C hWCLUG EDS Nuclear has a number of people trained in this method of representing system response; use of this method will facilitate the use of EDS staff personnel in order to complete the ATOG Program in a timely manner. Safety sequence diagrams are prepared by first carefully identifying the plant safety functions (reactor heat removal, primary pressure and level control, etc.) essential to achieving acceptable consequences during transients. Then the sequence of prime system responses forming redundant success paths arc diagramed. The information listed in Table 1 is also added to the diagram. Safety Function and Protection Sequence Analysis,

                                          " Transactions of the ANS", November 1973, by R. A. Fortney, et. al. , (Attachment 2) is a good general discussion of the SSD and SAD. The EDS Administrative and Technical Procedures for the
                                        .ATOG Program (Attaclunent 3) are more current and more detailed descriptions of the methods which will be used to prepare SSDs and SADs.

Figure 1 illustrates the relationship of event trees and SSDs. On the left of Figure 1 is a segment of the preliminary version of the Arkansas Nuclear One Unit 1 (ANO-1) Loss of Feedwater (LOFW) event tree. On the right is one success path from a preliminary version of the ANO-1 LOFW SSD (Attachment 4). The detailed information provided on the SSD is essential to the analyst's understanding of the ANO-1 response to a LOFW. That understanding is needed for development of the event sequences represented on the event tree and for simulation of the event sequence. The data and nomenclature presented can also be used to develop the guidelines.

                                                                                   6 334 g
