Introduction
M. Kloos: IDPSA approach to assess the potential of a thermally induced steam generator tube rupture
Analysis is performed with the tool MCDET. MCDET integrates advanced techniques for Monte Carlo (MC) and Dynamic Event
Tree (DET) simulation to handle the influence of uncertainties. These techniques are applied in combination with
• a computer code for system dynamics/accident simulation − ATHLET-CD (Analysis of THermal-hydraulics of LEaks and Transients - Core Degr.)
• the Crew Module of MCDET for human action sequence simulation Post-processing modules of MCDET provide well-founded probabilistic
assessments combined with epistemic uncertainty quantification.
Scenario and aleatory uncertainties
M. Kloos: IDPSA approach to assess the potential of a thermally induced steam generator tube rupture
High pressure scenario is initiated by a SBO. Batteries provide DC power supply to all battery supported functions.
Secondary side: Since on-site power plus D1- and D2-nets are not available, EOP ‘Sec. side
bleed and feed’ must be executed by the crew. Aleatory uncertainty: Performance of human actions • Manual opening of main steam relief valves (SRVs) is performed. • Feed water injection is not performed.
− Focus on sequences with high primary-to-secondary side differential pressure and dry SGs.
As long as the SRVs are not manually opened, they are demanded to open and to close for partial blow-down of the SGs. • Valves operate as intended.
− Focus on sequences with early elevated primary-to-secondary side differential pressure.
Scenario and aleatory uncertainties
M. Kloos: IDPSA approach to assess the potential of a thermally induced steam generator tube rupture
Primary side: Due to volume expansion of the coolant, the pressurizer level increases and the
pressurizer valves are demanded to open and to close for pressure limitation. • Aleatory uncertainty: Performance of the three valves PRV, SV1 and SV2
EOP ‘Prim. side bleed & feed’ must be executed, when the prim. side temperature and the differential pressure containment / reactor building exceed specific levels. • Prim. side depressurization is not initiated. • Focus on sequences with high primary side pressure and high temperature
over a longer time period.
Accumulators can inject their coolant inventory, only if all pressurizer valves stuck open during pressure limitation. • Aleatory uncertainty: Performance of source and additional isolation valves of
the accumulators
Additional aleatory uncertainty: • Degree of degradation of the SG tubes
Consideration of aleatory uncertainties

DET simulation is applied to handle the aleatory uncertainties of most discrete parameters.
Result of each MC simulation run is a DET constructed with the values sampled for the aleatory variables handled by MC simulation
Special combination of MC & DET simulation:

Crew Module of MCDET applied • to implement a time-dependent model of human actions • to simulate time-dependent sequences
Considered human tasks: • deactivation of the automatic functions of the reactor protection system • preparation of the electricity supply of the bleed bus bar • opening of the main steam relief valves
Aleatory uncertainties • outcome (success/failure?) of simple human actions for accomplishing the tasks
− failure probabilities from ASEP method • execution times of simple human actions
− uniform distributions from expert judgment

method applied to handle the influence of aleatory uncertainties. Values of the epistemic variables are considered in the ‘outer loop’ whereas those
of the aleatory variables are considered in the ‘inner loop’ of the simulation runs. − m DETs for each out of n sets of epistemic variable values
Conclusions and outlook
M. Kloos: IDPSA approach to assess the potential of a thermally induced steam generator tube rupture
Using MCDET for an IDPSA allows for considering many aspects of aleatory & epistemic uncertainty.
Special combination of MC & DET simulation is applied to consider the influence of uncertainties on • the sequence of human actions for sec. side depressurization
− MCDET/Crew Module • the accident sequence initiated by the SBO
− MCDET/ATHLET-CD First test runs are performed currently
• to check whether new MCDET version generates the input data of all simulation runs
• to check whether ATHLET-CD can handle the input data provided by MCDET • to get an overview on the computation time in order to fix the final number of
epistemic runs and DETs per epistemic run We expect that the results of the actual analysis will be available at the end of this
year and can be presented next year.
