Study on NPP Reactivity Accident Operating Strategy Design Based on Function Analysis and Task Analysis Technology

Abstract

Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) have multiple levels of defense in depth hierarchy. The NPP accident condition operation strategy belongs to the 3rd level. It is used to supervise the operator to handle the NPP under accident operating condition. NPP accident condition operation strategy is an essential and difficult work in NPP design field, hence only few organizations are able to develop the accident operating strategies independently all over the world. In this paper, a systematic NPP accident operating condition strategy design methodology is raised based on function analysis and task analysis technology. Based on the methodology, a reactivity accident operation strategy is designed and proved to be reasonable through preliminary verification and validation work.
