Review of the Probabilistic Risk Assessment for the Project
Title:
Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant
- p. 3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.
OBJECTIVE OF PROPOSED WORK a.
Background
The Reactor Systems Branch (RSB) has the responsibility to assist the Reliability and Risk Assessment Branch (RRAB) within the Of fice of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) in the review of Probabilistic Risk Assessments (PRAs) submitted to the NRC by license applicants and licensees. A PRA has been submitted to NRC by the Public Service Company of New Hampshire, an operating license applicant, pertaining to the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant.
b.
Objectives The objective of this project will be to provide a limited review of those aspects of the Seabrook PRA leading to estimates of risk corresponding to various plant dam-age states to determine the accuracy of the estimates. The investigation will be directed toward differences between phenomenological behavior of the Seabrook plant and other large dry containment plants such as Zion and Indian Point. In addition, unique features of the Seabrool PRA will be audited.
2.
SUMMARY
OF PRIOR EFFORTS Not Applicable.
3.
WORK TO BE PERFORMED AND EXPECTED RESULTS a.
Work Requirements BNL staff will perform a limited review and evaluation of the risk assessment sub-mitted by the licensee for the Seabrook PWR power plant to determine if estimates of risk reflect appropriate use of risk assessment methods and plant / site information.
BNL will compare the Seabrook containment and other severe accident mitigation fea-tures to those at Zion and Indian Point.
Since the review is to be limited, maximum utilization will be made of results from evaluation of other large dry containment plant PRAs, and emphasis will be placed on differences between those plant PRAs and the Seabrook PRA.
The defensibility of the licensee's submittal of the risk and associated uncertainty i
spread with respect to (1) use of state-of-the-art assessment methods, (2) thorough-ness and comprehensiveness of analysis, (3) availability and appropriate use of j
data, and (4) realism of modeling assumptions, will be considered.
The review will focus on the calculation of risk (based upon a staff supplied site consequence model) given the frequencies of the plant damage states, including methodology, assumptions, data, information sources, models, plant understanding, completeness of the analysis, and any other area which could affect the quantitative (See Cotatinuation Sheet)
Review of the Probabilistic Risk Assessment for the Project
Title:

- p. 4 3.
WORK TO BE PERFORMED AND EXPECTED RESULTS (Cont.)
cr qualitative results. A limited sensitivity analysis will take alternatives iden-tified in the review in appropriate combinations and determine the incremental change in risk resulting from the use of alternatives in the dominant sequences.
In g:neral, these alternatives will be evaluated by performing separate effects / phenom-cnological calculations within the overall analysis.
The work to be performed in this project will be based in part upon the " front-end" work to be performed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under NRR/ DST funding (FIN No. A-3754-4), and will be fully coordinated with that effort.
The work described herein consists of one task which is divided into several parts to be consistent with the A-3754-4 effort. These are:
1.
Evaluation of Containment Failure Modes and Radiological Source Terms for Internal Events 2.
Evaluation of Containment Failure Modes and Radiological Source Terms for External Events 3.
Draft Final Reports 4.
Final Reports 5.
Questions to Licensee Each item is discussed below.
Task 1 - Perform "Back-End" Evaluation of the Seabrook PRA Estimated Level of Effort:
FY84 0.15 staff years FY85 0.55 staff years Estimated Completion Date:
August 30, 1985 The following items are to be accomplished to complete the contract task:
Subtask I.1 - Evaluation of Containment Failure Modes and Radiological Source Terms for Internal Events (a)
BNL will perform a limited review and evaluation of the scope, assumptions, and systems analysis aspects of the PRA due to internal event plant damage states and other items identified as a result of the initiating events review and provided to BNL by the NRC Program Manager.
(b)
BNL will compare such items as methodology, assumptions,
data, information sources, models, plant understanding, completeness of the analysis, and other areas which could affect the results. BNL will provide a compila-tion of significant similarities and differences.

(c) BNL will develop a table of assumptions used in the li-consee's analysis and evaluate the validity.
(d) BNL will identify omissions and deficiencies in the phenomenological analysis and estimate the impact where t
reasonable, considering the scope and depth of the Task effort. BNL will also include the technical basis for these estimates.
(e) BNL will incorporate NRR technical review comments as provided by the NRC Program Manager.
(f) BNL will perform a limited assessment of the uncertainty j
analysis and consider propagation and completeness in the treatment of uncertainty, data uncertainty, and mod-eling sensitivity / uncertainty.
(g)
BNL staff will maintain close contact with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in regard to the f ront-end analyses which serve as the starting point for the above work.
Subtask I.2 - Evaluation of Containment Pailure Modes and Radiological Source Terms for External Events (a)
BNL will perform a limited review of each type of exter-nel event considered and concur with or modify the in-formation for each plant damage state which is signifi-cantly affected by the review.
l (b)
BNL will review and evaluate the assumptions of the li-consee's external events analysis.
i (c) BNL will identify omissions and deficiencies in the ex-ternal event analysis, and estimate the impact where practical with respect to the effort funded under this task.
If BNL find omissions and deficiencies for which an evaluation is believed to be beyond the state-of-the-art, a list of the omissions and the bacis for the belief that they are beyond the state-of-the-art will be provided.
(d) BNL will assess the uncertainty analysis and examine propagation and completeness in treatment of uncer-tainty, data uncertainty, and modeling sensitivity /un-certainty.

Title:
Review of the Probabilistic Risk Assessment for the Seabrook l
Nuclear Power Plant t
FIN No.:
A3778 i
B&R No.:
20-19-40-41-3 NRC Project Manager:
Warren C. Lyon (FTS 492-9405) i BACKGROUND The Reactor Systems Branch (RSB) has the responsibility to assist the Reliability and Risk Assessment. Branch (RRAB) within the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) in review of Probabilistic Risk Assess-i ments (PRAs) submitted to NRC by license Applicants and licensees.
A PRA has been submitted to NRC by Public Service Company of New Hamp-3 shire, an operating license applicant, pertaining to the Seabrook j
Nuclear Power Plant.
OBJECTIVE The objective of the present task is to provide a limited review of those aspects of the Seabrook PRA leading to estimates of risk corres-ponding to various plant damage states to determine the accuracy of the estimates.
The investigation will be directed toward differences between phenomenological behavior of the Seabrook plant and other large i
dry containment plants such as Zion and Indian Point.
In addition, unique features of the Seabrook PRA will be audited.
l WORK REQUIREMENTS Perform a limited review and evaluation of the risk assessment submitted by the licensee for the Seabrook PWR power plant to determine if esti-i mates of risk reflect appropriate use of risk assessment methods and
{
plant / site information.. Compare the Seabrook containment and other severe accident mitigation features to those at Zion and Indian Point.
Since the review is to be limited, maximum utilization'will be made of results from evaluation of other large dry containment plant PRAs, and emphasis will be placed on differences between those plant PRAs and the i
Seabrook PRA.
1 The defensibility of the licensee's submittal of the risk and associated uncertainty spread with respect to (1) use of state-of-the-art risk assessment methods, (2) thoroughness and comprehens'iveness of analysis, ing assumptions, will be considered.(3) availability and appropriate I
i
I The review will focus on the calculation of risk given the frequencies of the plant damage states, including methodology, assumptions, data, information sources, models, plant understanding, completeness of the analysis, and any other area which could affect the quantitative or qualitative results.
A limited sensitivity analysis will take alterna-tives identified in the review in appropriate combinations and determine the incremental change in risk resulting from the use of alternatives in the dominant sequence.
In general, these alternatives should be eval-uated by performing separate effects /phenomenological calculations within the overall analysis.
5 The work to be performed in accord with this Statement of Work is to be based in part upon the " front-end' work to be performed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under NRR/ DST funding (FIN No. A-3754-4),
and is to be fully coordinated with that effort.
The work described herein consists of one task which is divided into several parts to be consistent with the A-3754-4 effort.
These are:
1.
Evaluation of Risk Due to Internal Events 2.
Evaluation of Risk Due to External Events 3.
Draft Final Reports 4.
Final Reports 5.
Questions to Licensee Each item is discussed belo'w.
Contract Task:
Perform "Back-end" evaluation of the Seabrook PRA.
Estimated level of effort FY 84 0.4 staff years FY 85 0.3 staff years Estimated completion date: Aug. 30, 1985 The following items are to be accomplished to complete the contract task:
(1)
Evaluation of Risk Due to Internal Events (a)
Perform a limited review and evaluation of the scope, assump-tions, and systems analysis aspects of risk due to internal event plant damage states, and other items identified as a result of the initiating events review and provided to BNL by the NRC Program Manager.
(b) Compare such items as risk, methodology, assymptions, data, information sources, models, plant understanding, completeness of the analysis, and other areas which could affect the results.
Provide a compilation of significant similarities and differences.
(c)
Develop a table of assumptions used in the analysis and make a finding on the validity.
2
(d)
Identify omissions and d2ficiencies in the phenomenological analysis and estimate the impact where reasonable, considering the scope and depth of the Task effort.
Include the technical basis for these estimates.
(e)
Incorporate NRR technical review coments as provided by the NRC Program Manager.
(f)
Perform a limited assessment of the uncertainty analysis.
Consider propagation and completeness in treatment of uncer-tainty, data uncertainty, and modeling sensitivity / uncertainty.
(g) Maintain close contact with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in regard to the front-end analyses which serve as the starting point for the above work.
(2)
Evaluation of Risk Due to External Events (a)
Perform a limited review of each type of external event considered and concur with or modify the risk information for each plant damage state which is significantly affected by the review.
(b)
Review and evaluate assumptions of the external events risk analysis.
(c)
Identify omissions and deficiencies in the external event risk analysis, and estimate the impact where practical with respect to the effort funded under this task.
For omissions and deficiencies for which evaluation is believed to be beyond the state-of-the-art, provide a list and the basis for this belief.
(d) Assess the uncertainty analysis.
Examine propagation and completeness in treatment of uncertainty, data uncertainty, and modeling' sensitivity / uncertainty.
(e) Maintain close contact with Lawrence Livermore Laboratories in, regard to the front end analyses which serve as the starting point for the Item (2) work.
(3)
Draft Reports A Draft Report is to be provided which covers the effort accomp-lished in FY84 and a second Draft Report is to be provided which covers the effort accomplished in this program.
The reports are to include, at a minimum, the following:
(a)
For each of the PRA areas reviewed, define the basis for acceptability and describe what was considered in the review.
The findings will include selected reestimates of risk infor-mation corresponding to plant damage states, identification of areas which were not pursued, and identification of grey areas where sensitivity studies might be used to bound a central estimate.

Title:
Review of the Probabilistic Risk Assessment for the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant t
FIN No.:
A3778 B&R No.:
20-19-40-41-3 NRC Project Manager:
Warren C. Lyon (FTS 492-9405)
BACKGROUND Tha Reactor Systems Branch (RSB) has the responsibility to assist the Reliability and Risk Assessment Branch (RRAB) within the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) in review of Probabilistic Risk Assess-ments (PRAs) submitted to NRC by license Applicants and licensees.
A PRA has been submitted to NRC.by Public Service Company of New Hamp-shire, an operating license applicant, pertaining to the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant.
OBJECTIVE The objective of the present task is to provide a limited review of those aspects of the Seabrook PRA leading to estimates of risk corres-ponding to various plant damage states to determine the accuracy of the estimates.
The investigation will be directed toward differences dry containment plants such as Zion and Indian Point.between phenom unique features of the Seabrook PRA will be audited.
In addition, WORK REQUIREMENTS Perform a limited review and evaluation of the risk assessment submitte by the licensee for the Seabrook PWR power plant to determine if esti-mates of risk reflect appropriate use of risk assessment methods anc plant / site information.
Compare the Seabrook containment and other severe accident mitigation features to those at Zion and Indian Point.
Since the review is to be limited, maximum utilization'will be made of results from evaluation of other large dry containment plant PRAs, and emphasis will be placed on differences between those plant PRAs and the Seabrook PRA.
The defensibility of the licensee's submittal of the risk and associated uncertainty spread with respect to (1) use of state-of-the-art risk assessment methods, (2) thoroughness and comprehensiv ing assumptions,' will be considered u
The review will focus on the calculation of risk given the frequencies of the plant damage states, including methodology, assumptions, data, information sources, models, plant understanding, completeness of the analysis, and any other area which could affect the quantitative or qualitative results.
A limited sensitivity analysis will take alterna-tives identified in the review in appropriate combinations and determine the incremental change in risk resulting from the use of alternatives in the dominant sequence.
In general, these alternatives should be eval-uated by performing separate effects /phenomenological calculations within the overall analysis.
S The work to be performed in accord with this Statement of Work is to be based in part upon the " front-end' work to be performad by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under NRR/ DST funding (FIN No. A-375t.-4),
3 i
and is to be fully coordinated with that effort.
The work described herein consists of one task which is divided into several parts to be consistent with the A-3754-4 effort.
These are:
1.
Evaluation of Risk Due to Internal Events 2.
Evaluation of Risk Due to External Events 3.

. Contract Task:
Perforn "Back-end" evaluation of the Seabrook PRA.
Estimated level of effort FY 84 0.4 staff years FY 85 0.3 staff years Estimated completion date: Aug. 30, 1985 The following items are to be accomplished to complete the contract task:
(1)
Evaluation of Risk Due to Internal Events (a)
Perform a limited review and evaluation of the scope, assump-tions, and systems analysis aspects of risk due to internal event plant damage states, and other items identified as a result of the initiating events review and provided to BNL by the NRC Program Manager.
i (b)
Compare such items as risk, methodology, assymptions, data, information sources, models, plant understanding, completeness of the analysis, and other areas which could affect the results.
Provide a compilation of significant similarities and differences.
(c)
Develop.a table of assumptions used in the analysis and make a finding on the validity.
2 i
(d)
Idutify omis:icnc and deficiencies in the ph:nomenologi;al analysis and estimate the impact where reasonable, considering the scope and depth of the Task effort.
Include the technical basis for these estimates.
(e)
Incorporate NRR technical review comments as provided by the NRC Program Manager.
(f)
Perform a limited assessment of the uncertainty analysis.
Consider propagation and completeness in treatment of uncer-tainty, data uncertainty, and modeling sensitivity / uncertainty.
(g) Maintain close contact with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in regard to the front-end analyses which serve as the starting point for the above work.
(2)
Evaluation of Risk Due to External Events (a)
Perform a limited review of each type of external event considered and concur with or modify the risk information for each plant damage state which is significantly affected by the review.
(b)
Review and evaluate assumptions of the external events risk analysis.
(c)
Identify omissions and deficiencies in the external event risk analysis, and estimate the impact where practical with respect j
to the effort funded under this task.
For omissions and deficiencies for which evaluation is believed to be beyond the state-of-the-art, provide a list and the basis for this belief.
(d) Assess the uncertainty analysis.
Examine propagation and completeness in treatment of uncertainty, data uncertainty, and modeling' sensitivity / uncertainty.
(e) Maintain close contact with Lawrence Livermore Laboratories in regard to the front end analyses which serve as the starting point for the Item (2) work.
(3)
Draft Reports A Draft Report is to be provided which covers the effort accomp-lished in FYB4 and a second Draft Report is to be provided which covers the effort accomplished in this program.
The reports are to include, at a minimum, the following:
(a)
For each of the PRA areas reviewed, define the basis for acceptability and describe what was considered in the review.
The findings will include selected reestimates of risk infor-mation corresponding to plant damage states, identification of areas which were not pursued, and identification of grey areas where sensitivity studies might be used to bound a central estimate.
3 I
+
(b)
Describe areas of incompleteness determined in the review.
Quantify, where consistent with the funded depth of the review, the potential impact of these areas.. Discuss the basis for quantification values.
(c)
Based on reviewer audits, discuss the accuracy, uncertainty, and adequacy of the PRA author's risk quantifications.

SUBJECT:
ADVANCED FUNDING REQUEST FOR FIN NO.- A3778;." REVIEW 0F THE PROBABILISTIC RISK ASSESSMENT FOR THE SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT"
Reference:
Speis to Directors Memorandum, " Review of the Seabrook Station Probabilistic Safety Assessment,"
June 21, 1984 I request that you authorize initiation of work on the review of the Seabrook PRA at an amount of $50,000 prior to receipt of a proposal for this effort.
A request for a proposal is attached for your approval.
Work has already begun on this assessment under the direction of RRAB with a contract to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under NRR/ DST funding (FIN No. A-3754-4), and the work that is to be funded is required to be closely coordinated with the Livermore and RRAB effort.
Preliminary work is required now so that a trip to the plant site can be undertaken during August or early September which will involve members of the contract (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Livermore, RRAB, and RSB.
The requirement for RSB and Brookhaven to assist in this effort is the subject of the Reference Memorandum.
