Scoping Example Fire HRA - Scoping Analysis Examples Slide 3 Fire PRA Workshop 2019, Rockville, MD

General assumptions for examples Actions have applicable plant emergency procedures and fire procedures Fire does not impact control room environment There is a full area burn out Adequate inventory in fire protection system (FPS)

The fire is not in the same location as the execution Note: Similar examples are being used to illustrate screening, scoping and detailed approaches, but scenario specifics may not be identical Fire HRA - Scoping Analysis Examples Slide 4 Fire PRA Workshop 2019, Rockville, MD

Example 1A:

Operator fails to align FPS water to AFW pumps The auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pumps take water from the condensate store tank (CST).

With low low level in the tank, the operator would align the Fire Protection System (FPS ) to the pumps.

Consider the tank low low level (10%) would be reached in 10 hrs after the start of the fire.

This is a local action and the operator must manually open two valves.

Internal events HEP = 5E-3 Fire HRA - Scoping Analysis Examples Slide 5 Fire PRA Workshop 2019, Rockville, MD

Example 1A:

Operator fails to align FPS water to AFW pumps Cable tracing for CST level transmitters has been performed and the cues are not impacted by fire Timing information

- Tcog = 2 minutes

- Texe = 10 minutes Fire HRA - Scoping Analysis Examples Slide 6 Fire PRA Workshop 2019, Rockville, MD

Example 1A:

Minimum Criteria

1. Procedures

- Plant procedures covering each operator action being modeled

- Support both diagnosis & execution of the action

2. Training - on the procedures and the actions

3. Availability and accessibility of equipment Fire HRA - Scoping Analysis Examples Slide 7 Fire PRA Workshop 2019, Rockville, MD

Example 1A:

Feasibility Timing analysis:

- Time available (60 mins) > Time required (12 mins)

Cues available to aid diagnosis

- Cable tracing was done on CST alarms Fire activity would not prevent the execution of the actions Enough crew members available to complete the action Fire HRA - Scoping Analysis Examples Slide 8 Fire PRA Workshop 2019, Rockville, MD

Example 1A:

Time Margin Tavail (Tcog + Texe ) 60 ( 2 + 10)

Time Margin =

• 100% =

• 100% = 400%

(Tcog + Texe ) ( 2 + 10)

Tsw Tavail Tdelay Tcog Texe To Cue Crew Action received diagnosis complete Action no Start complete longer beneficial Fire HRA - Scoping Analysis Examples Slide 9 Fire PRA Workshop 2019, Rockville, MD

Example 1A:

Assessing Key Conditions & PSFs Condition Status Do the procedures match the scenario? Yes Is the execution complexity high? No Is the fire suppressed when the cue is Yes received?

Whats the time window (Tavail)? 60 min Is there any smoke or other hazardous No elements in the action areas?

Is the action area accessible? Yes Fire HRA - Scoping Analysis Examples Slide 10 Fire PRA Workshop 2019, Rockville, MD

Example 1B:

Operator fails to align FPS water to AFW pumps with failed alarm Same basic scenario as Example 1A

- The auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pumps take water from the condensate store tank (CST).

- When low low level in the tank is reached, the operator needs to align the FPS (fire protection system) to the pumps.

Cable tracing has not been done therefore assume that fire fails the CST alarm at the 10% level

- The cue is no longer an alarm in MCR. Assumed that the action would not occur (error of omission) and the spurious indication flowchart must be used!

- The fire procedure does direct the crew to locally check tank level to make sure there is enough inventory.

Fire HRA - Scoping Analysis Examples Slide 14 Fire PRA Workshop 2019, Rockville, MD

Example 1B:

Operator fails to align FPS water to AFW pumps with failed alarm Local action Timing information

- Tsw = 11 hrs - 10 hrs to low low level then 1 additional hr until tank is empty and pumps cavitate.

- Tdelay = 2 hrs - Estimated time before the crew sends local operator to verify CST level. This action is low priority.

- Tcog = 15 minutes - Time to determine CST level
