Analysis of potential common cause failure events for Romania-TRIGA 14Â MW reactor

Potential CCF's components for Romania-TRIGA reactor involves pumps, control rods and control rods mechanisms, valves, fans, ejectors. Every group of components susceptible to CCF is discussed taking into account the event attributes like root cause, coupling factor, detection method and corrective action taken. An example of quantitative CCF analysis using different mathematical models for main circulating pumps is also considered.
