Methods to assess effects of cable failures caused by fire

Piljugin E., Herb J., Röwekamp M., Berg H, P.

It is state-of-the-art that a Level 1 PSA also includes a fire PSA for all plant operational states. In performing Fire PSA not only the malfunction of the components has to be assessed but also all supply systems and cables have to be traced for a given component. In the past it was assumed in the case of a fire in a compartment that all components and cables in that compartment are not functional anymore. However, this is in many cases a too conservative approach and could lead to overestimated fire induced core damage frequencies. Therefore, a method is necessary to assess in a more realistic manner the effects of cables failures caused by fire. Such a procedure requires a sound data base on equipment, list of cables and their properties as well as cable routing. Two methods are described which are currently developed. One of them is a cable failure mode and effect analysis which is easier to apply in practice.

Dynamic methodologies for reliability and probabilistic risk assessment (PRA)

Dynamic methodologies in reliability and PRA are those that explicitly account for the time element in probabilistic system evolution. Dynamic methodologies are usually needed when the system has more than one failure mode, control loops, and/or hardware/process/ software/human interaction. An overview of the dynamic methodologies proposed to date is given, including those that use dynamic event tree generation, continuous time-state space representation, the cell-to-cell mapping technique and graphical schemes. The use of dynamic methodologies for state/parameter estimation in on-line applications is also discussed. Potential on-line use of dynamic methodologies as operator assistance tools for risk informed accident management or normal operation is described and illustrated.
