Assessing the Impact of Common Cause Failures on Site Risk within Level 1 Multi-Unit PSA by James F. Coleman, Emmanuel K. Boafo, S. Yamoah, F. Ameyaw

“…Common cause failures (CCFs) may lead to the simultaneous unavailability or failure of numerous components in the nuclear power plant because of the existence of a shared cause when an initiating event disrupts the normal functioning of nuclear power plants. The presence of common cause failures (intra-unit and inter-unit) can be recognized in a multi-unit probabilistic safety assessment (MUPSA) as a crucial dependency factor that can influence accident scenarios and the core damage frequency (CDF), as CCF may affect the availability and proper operation of mitigating systems. …”
