Safety evaluation of operational occurrences as applied to Oconee Nuclear Station
Description
Operating experience evaluation provides vital input to the process of confirming and enhancing safe operation of nuclear power plants. Such evaluations result in improved understanding of system malfunctions, plant transient behavior, and the adequacy of design features and operational methods and also allow comparison of plant operating behavior with design and safety analysis assumptions to confirm their congruence. The principal elements of this evaluation, as applied to Oconee Nuclear Station, include data collection and evaluation, follow-up computer modeling of transient events, periodic trend and frequency evaluation of operational occurrences, and application of probabilistic risk assessment insights to assist in determining event significance
