ANS PSA 2008 Topical Meeting - Challenges to PSA during the nuclear renaissance, Knoxville, Tennessee, September 6–11, 2008 Implementation of a Concept for a Risk-informed Diagnosis/Prognosis of Plant States through the RISARD System Kwang-Il Ahn kiahn@kaeri.re.kr Integrated Safety Assessment Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute

  2. ⊙ Outline • Motivation & Objectives • The Concept of RI-SAM • Computerized Tool SARD • Demonstrative Application • Concluding Remarks

  3. ⊙ Motivation Key Ways for a Successful Implementation of SAM • Develop a proper SAM strategy by answering the questions: • How to reduce uncertainties in implementing the established SAM strategies? especially when available resources are limited. • Which essential safety function was lost at the time of the accident? That is, the root cause of the accident;Which safety systems are currently available for SAM? • What will be important future events? and what will be their evolution? • What are potential ‘success paths’ for SAM? • Utilize the computer-based methods & tools for supporting SAM: capable of ① diagnosing the functional states of plant safety systems and ② predicting the future trends of key plant parameters as possible as quickly: • The diagnostic capability for plant states at the time of the accident is required to reduce the uncertainties in the current plant system state and to have a good basis for estimating future plant states. • Based on the current damage states of the plant, the prognostic capability for the possible evolution of the accident gives time enough to take an action for mitigating the consequence of the accident.

  4. Our Approach for supporting SAM: Utilize a PSA-based and SA phenomenological trends-based database (DB)(e.g., plant-, code-, accident sequence-specific SA analysis results) => SAR DB Systematic use of SAM-related information Quick & fast retrieval of the SAM-related information (Quick view) Provide a computerized platform for a comprehensive use of SAR DB in a simple, fast and risk-informing way => RI-SARD Proper information about the plant damage statesat the time of the accident: the root cause of the accident (Diagnosis) Insights on the possible evolution of the accident (critical parameters), based on the current damage states of the plant (Prognosis) Develop the best strategy for supporting SAM(especially when available plant information is limited)=> RI-SAM Helpful in finding success paths for intended SAM actions Helpful in providing appropriate actions to mitigate the accident ⊙ Objectives: RI-SAM Strategy & Tool

  5. ⊙ RI-SAM: Diagnosis & Prognosis of Plant States Monitor Plant Data & Signal: Identify the IE & CD states Determine the status/availability of systems needed to mitigate the IE ReSet Plant symptoms & accident time AS screening (iteration loop)(2) Yes Signal Validation Process Prioritize Frequency-based potential accident sequences Determine Plant symptoms More Symptoms ?

Note(2): A process by which the prediction can be updated based upon successive data from plant.

  6. ⊙ A Computerized Tool: RI-SARD

  9. Key Role of the PDS ET-based Diagnosis & Prognosis Provide the status of plant and cont. systems at the time of core damage All potential ASs for an IE can be shown at a glance with its graphical form Occurrence probability (or frequency) be systematically derived from PSA The graphical form of PDS ET can be very useful in specifying a particular AS during the data loading and information retrieval process Probability can be utilized as a criterion for screening the risk-significant ASs ⊙ SARD: SARDB Generation (2) Risk-informed SA Analysis

  20. ⊙ Concluding Remarks • Summary • Based on a concept of a RI-SAM, the present RI-SARD system explores • a symptom-based diagnosis of potential PDS sequences in a risk-informing way & • a plant damage sequence-based prognosis of key plant parameter behavior, in a simple, fast, and efficient way. • The replicated use of both processes makes it possible to extract information required for taking the intended SAM actions,consequently leading to an answer about what is the best strategy for SAM. • An example application through the OPR1000- and MAAP code-specific SAR DB has shown that the present approach can • enhance a diagnostic capability for anticipated plant states, • give the SAM practitioners more time to take actions for mitigating the accident, • reduce the still relatively large uncertainty in the field of SAM, and • consequently, help guide the TSC staffs through a severe accident.

  21. ⊙ Concluding Remarks • Future Plan for Improvement • Will involve the ability to link decisions made by RISARD with the SAM procedure and SA simulator, so that the impact of the SAM actions on an accident progression can be feedback to in an interactive way to a user. • Will involve the use of a more structured approach capable of ①diagnosing the current plant system state, ② predicting the most probable accident pathway during the progress of an accident, and ③ taking the best strategy to terminate its progression into an undesirable consequence, including a linking with • a diagnostic logic tree to diagnose effectively potential plant damage states, • a simplified APET capable of predicting the progress of accidents accurately, and • a more sophisticated logical rule capable of extracting appropriate SAM strategies for a given plant damage state • In addition, we will explore increasing the number of accident types recognized by RI-SARD (e.g., various spectrum of break sizes for LOCA & SGTR)
