1 INSIGHTS GAINED FROM A REVIEW OF FIRE PRA RISK CONTRIBUTION BY IGNITION FREQUENCY BINS
2 AUTHORS JENSEN HUGHES Jazmin NeVille Usama Farradj Kiang Zee EPRI Ashley Lindeman Presentation by Mark Wishart (JENSEN HUGHES) 2
3 OVERVIEW Fire PRAs have been developed for a majority of US power plants to support transition to NFPA 805 and/or other risk based license applications Results of FPRAs indicate that fire risk is a large fraction of total plant risk, when compared to internal events risk How much of this result is a function of conservatism in the methods versus a realistic comparison of fire to non-fire risk? 3
4 PRESENTATION OUTLINE Review of Total Risk fire risk contribution non-fire risk contribution Review Contribution to Fire Risk by Ignition Sources (i.e., bins) Fire Risk Contribution of Electrical Cabinet (bin 15 fires) severe fires impacting targets beyond the ignition source non-severe fires no additional target impacts Predicted Fire Frequency vs. Operational Experience Areas of Further Analysis 4

6 FIRE RISK VERSUS NON-FIRE RISK - PERCENT OF TOTAL RISK 100% Contribution to Total Reported CDF 90% 80% Contribution to Total CDF 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% Other Hazards Fire Scenarios 10% 0% B01 B02 B03 B04 B05 B06 B07 B08 P01 P02 P03 P04 P05 P06 P07 P08 P09 P10 P11 P12 P13 P14 P15 P16 P17 P18 P19 P20 P21 P22 P23 P24 P25 P26 P27 P28 P29 P30 P31 P32 P33 Plant ID 6
7 OBSERVATIONS AND QUESTIONS Observation: For most cases, the fire CDF contribution is more than 50% of total plant risk Question: What s driving Fire CDF, and is this realistic? 7
8 REVIEW OF FIRE PRA RESULTS - APPROACH Evaluate Contribution by Ignition Frequency Bin (per guidance presented in NUREG/CR-6850) and Identify Bins with Largest Contributions for Further Assessment Collect Data from Available Sites / Units need access to various data sources to support this evaluation obtain utility concurrence with use of data Evaluate Fire PRA CDF Results by Ignition Frequency Bin Evaluate Total Fire Frequency (i.e., fires per year) by Ignition Frequency Bin, and Compare to Operating Experience 8
9 DATA SOURCES Initial Data Collection obtained from 43 NPPs at 25 sites Developed under an EPRI project Utility concurrence obtained for use of data (no plant names or risk values provided) Not all available Fire PRAs readily supported extraction of required data Data with sufficient detail to support this review was available from 27 NPPs (62% of initial population) at 14 sites 24 PWRs and 3 BWRs (89%, 11%)* 8 plants have incorporated NUREG-2178 & NUREG-2169 data and methods 9 plants transitioning to NFPA 805 Presenter Comment: Industry data (PRA insights and operating experience) is critical for development of future insights *Current US Commercial Nuclear Fleet is 100 Operational Reactors, 66% PWR, 34% BWR 9
10 DATA ANALYSIS - GENERAL Extracted Relevant Data from the Fire PRA Databases (e.g., FRANX, cutset files, etc.) Aggregated Risk Contributions for Ignition Frequency Bins (per the ignition source counting / frequency guidance presented in NUREG/CR-6850) Quantified the Fraction of Total Risk (CDF) Associated with each Ignition Frequency Bin Developed the Fire Frequency (fires per year) 10
11 DATA ANALYSIS FIRE FREQUENCY (1) Electrical Panels Non-Severe (panel only) Severe (panel and external targets) Transient Fires (sum for all transient ignition frequency bins) Bins 3, 6, 7, 24, 25, 36 and 37 General Transient Fires and Transient Fires caused by welding and cutting Containment, Control/Aux/ Reactor Bldg, Diesel Generator Room, Plant Wide, Turbine Building High Energy Arcing Faults (Bins 16a/b, non-bus duct) 11
12 DATA ANALYSIS FIRE FREQUENCY (2) Used as a Basis for Comparison with Operating Experience Data allowing this analysis was limited to 23 plants Defined as: Sum of IGF x NSP x SF for: Electrical panels fires Transient fires HEAF events Binned by CCDP Range Fires per year per plant for each CCDP range focus on high risk CCDPs, > 1E-03 and > 1E-04 To allow comparison to NRCs Accident Sequence Precursor Program (SECY ) Extrapolated Data to 100 Plants to Define Expected Frequency for Industry 12
13 IGNITION FREQUENCY BIN PERCENT CONTRIBUTION TO FIRE CDF Key Insights: Electrical cabinets are important at all plants Transients and HEAF also important but to a lesser degree Importance of other bins seems to be plant-specific 13

19 TOTAL FIRE FREQUENCY (PER YEAR) BY CCDP RANGE 19
20 TOTAL FIRE FREQUENCY (PER YEAR) BY CCDP RANGE Key Insight: Based on this analysis, we would expect to see several high risk fire events over the past decade (across the entire US fleet) 20
21 SECY ACCIDENT SEQUENCE PRECURSOR DATA 7 events > 1.00E-04/yr ( ) No events >1.00E-03/yr were identified 2 of the 7 events involved a fire Robinson (2010) est. CCDP = 4.00E-04 Ft Calhoun (2011) est. CCDP = >1.00E-04 FPRA would have estimated ~12 with CCDP >1.00E-04 in same period FPRA would have estimated ~5 with CCDP > 1.00E
22 PROBABLE CAUSES OF OVERESTIMATION OF FIRE RISK Fire Size and Severity OE indicates damage from most fire events is confined to the source FPRA indicates over 2/3 of cabinet fire are severe HRR vs Time (i.e., Fire Growth Profile) OE indicates a significant duration pre-growth/smoldering fire phase FPRA electrical panel and transient fires have fixed/short time to peak Non-Suppression Probability OE indicates control of fire prior to extinguishment FPRA NSPs based on time to extinguishment In Some Cases, Additional Detailed Fire Modeling is Warranted Fire Modeling Parameters (e.g., HRR Distributions, Time to Peak HRR, Time to Suppression, etc.) Will Result a Reduction of Overall Fire Risk 22
23 CONCLUSION Question: What s driving Fire CDF, and is this realistic? Conclusions: Ignition Frequency and Modeling of Electrical Panels is Driving Fire CDF Results Additional Ignition Sources (e.g., Transients and HEAFs) Also Contribute to the Overall Fire Risk The High Fire Risk is not Substantiated by Recent Industry Operating Experience 23
24 POTENTIAL AREAS OF RESEARCH TO REDUCE OVERESTIMATION OF FIRE RISK Fire Pre-growth Phase: Believed to be significant, but not currently accounted for in FPRA methods (this is difficult to model). Analysis of Fire Events: Should consider how to deter differentiate ignition frequency and NSP of various fire sizes, ignition source types, etc. Transient Fires: Differentiate between the types of transient fires (e.g., past operating experience indicates that misc. transients are related to ignition source fires, but do not involve not combustible materials). 24
