Statement of Work PROJECT TITLE: Reliability cod Probablistic Assessments for Fire Events FIN Ho.: A 'I w B&R Ho,:
OA 20-19-10-14 4 PROJECT MANAGER: Frank Nolan (FTS 492-8997)
Background -
The TMI Action Plan (NUREG-0660), Task II.C Reliability Engineering and Risk Assessment, initiated a program for imple:aenting the use of probabilistic assessment techniques as an adjunct to the present safety review process. Probablistic safety studies have been performed on several: plants'and are being performed on all operating reactors.
Fire events have been assessed in'a few of these studies and these assessments have demonstrated the need for the development of a methodology and a data base to reduce the large uncertainties in such assessments. Also, our analysis of fire events in the operating '
plants has demonstrated the need for reliability studies of fire protection _ features used to avoid multiple failures of safety systems and adverse interactions between the fire protection features and the _
safety systems for non-firc design basis events.
. . Objective The objective of this project is, therefore, to (1) evaluate the NRC requirements regarding protection against fire events and their potential for either creating or avoiding adverse system interactions during fire and non-fire design basis events, (2) establish a methodology and data base for probabilistic assessment of fire events, and
' (3) develop guidance for the staff's evaluation of probabilistic assessments of fire events prepared by others.
Work Recuiretaents:
Task 1: .NRC Requirements Assessment Due 3/3/83 Estimated Level of Effort: 9 man months The contractor will evaluate NRC guidelines for protection against fire events as contained in Section 9.5.1, Fire Protection Program, of.the Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants' LWR Edition (July 1981) to assess each require-

ment's _ contribution to ~ fire protection and_ its potential for causing ~ an adverse systems interaction-for fire and non-fire design basis events.
This will be accomplished by extending the models of existing PRA's
.' .such as WASH-1400, IREP and the' early . industry studies to . include these: fire protection requirements. Fire hazards, fire propagation,-
. plant system response and release-frequency'will be considered. The subject of multiple and dependent failure during a fire incidence, will also be considered. ,
Task 2: Data Base Due3/3/83
, n Estimated Level'of Effort: 6 man months The contractor will evaluate data bases, nuclear as well as non nuclear, presently available for probabilistic and reliability 4
assessments ~of fire events and fire protection features. If the data.
. base is inadequate, recommendations will be made to develop a suitable
! data base. An assessment of the effects of the present data base on
- i.hu w rrent probabilistic assessments will be conducted. The following areas;will be assessed. .
i
- 1. Frequency / magnitude of fires, including transient material fires.
L 2. Refinements of prior distributions of the frequency of fires. '
- 3. Distribution of detection time conditional on item 1.
- 4. ' Distribution of suppression time conditional on item-1.
. 5. Frequency of fire with a secondary, independent initiating. event. -
- 6. Ccmponent responses to different magnitudes of fire.
1 Task 3: Methodology Assessment Due 11/30/83
~ Estimated Level of Effort: 7 man months ,
-The contractor will evaluate the current industry methodology used for the probabilistic assessment of fire events to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and uncertainties. State-of-the-art liter-ature on the modeling of fire propagation, input parameter and modeling uncertainties and modeling of detection and suppression will be used to evaluate current. methodology. In those areas where recently developed
- more accurate techniques can be utilized to reduce the uncertainties of the current methodology recommendations will be made to establish e or develop a~ suitable methodology.
n Task 4: Evaluation Guidance Due 11/30/83 4
Estimated Level of Effort: 6 man months -
The contractor will prepare a topical report (NUREG) which sets forth guidance for the staff review of probabilistic risk assessments and system reliability assessments that are related to fire events and the >
systems interaction between fire, fire protection features, and safety
. systems. The ob ective of this task is to identify options for i ' implementing a r sk-based approach which addresses fire, by accounting i
for different contingencies related to using the results and procedures developed under Tasks 1, 2, arid 3 above, the availability of a standard
, methodology, and the deterministic review process. The contractor will i
identify:and discuss different ways the results might be used in the licensing and regulation of NPPs.
