Description

The GO-FLOW methodology has been applied to a reliability analysis of Auxiliary Feed Water System (AFWS) of Daya Bay nuclear power plant as an example which is time-related issue and has a complex operational behavior. In this paper, GO-FLOW chart was drawn according to the principle chart of AFWS, and the success probabilities of AFWS at different time points were calculated. The analysis results well explain that GO-FLOW could be well applicable to the analysis of PWR-AFWS, GO-FLOW has proved to be an effective and useful methodology in system reliability analysis, and it can provide technology support to the living risk monitoring system.
