Description

GO-FLOW is a success-oriented system reliability analysis methodology that can deal with time-related issues. GO-FLOW can not only describe complex operation time sequences and systems with multiple operating states, but also can calculate the probabilities of system at each time point through a graphical analysis software. Based on GO-FLOW methodology, the reliability of pressurized water reactor (PWR) auxiliary feedwater system (AFWS) of Daya Bay nuclear power plant was analyzed. 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 results show 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
