Safety Specifications Component

Safety specifications are characteristics associated with plant objects (normally physical objects) to describe features needed for safety considerations. In fact, specifications describing physical objects can be considered as part of the safety specifications since any deviation from these specifications may lead to abnormal situation. Accordingly, safety specifications are considered as attributes describing the physical object. By reviewing the process data sheet, it is possible to represent the safety

Level A for Operational Safety Management updates the plant status for specific components that are out of service and forecasts the effect on core melt frequency using minimal cutsets generated in Level B. Code features include ... 

Establish by a consensus of the national codes and standards development organizations such as the CDO or SDO that will have the lead in the development of codes and standards for establishing safety requirements for specific components, subsystems, and systems (as shown in the templates) and the organizations that will work collaboratively with (or in support of) the lead organization. 

To ensure that the safety program is working, most companies have a safety policy follow-through. This includes monthly safety meetings, performance reviews, and safety audits. The monthly safety meetings include a discussion of any accidents (and resolution of prevention means), training on specific issues, inspection of facilities, and delegation of work. Performance reviews within the company for all employees must have a visible safety performance component. 

A thorough investigation involving operators, safety coordinator production- and engineering staff resulted in the following verbal description of what had happened the numbers in brackets refer to specific components shown in the graphical description of the same incident, the Incident Production Tree (see figure 1)... 

In order to understand potential immunotoxicity observed during the safety evaluation of therapeutics, assays are available to assess whether specific components of innate immunity are affected. These assays include functional assays for the cell types involved in this phase of the immune response (NK cells, macrophages, and neutrophils) and measurement of complement proteins. The majority of these assays may be incorporated into toxicity studies thereby allowing for simultaneous measurement of specific immunotoxicologi-cal end points within the same study as toxicological end points. 

An attribute related to physical capacity is the perceptual/motor skUls of an individual, such as eye-hand coordination. These skUls vary widely among individuals and may have more health and safety significance than strength or endurance because they come into play in the moment-by-moment conduct of work tasks. While strength may influence the ability to perform a specific component of a task, perceptual/motor skills are involved in all aspects of manuM tasks. Thus, perceptual/motor skills affect the quality with which a task is carried out as well as the probability of a mistake that could cause an exposure or accident. 

The Neutron Control Subsystem is safety related. The classification of specific components is given in Table 4.3-1. 

Generic standards (type B). For safety, the type B standards concern specific technical aspects and are applied as needed, such as for specific components or guarding. For machinery the B standards are further divided into B1 and B2 standards. 

If the specific predefined tree conforms with the modification 2, then the relevant Root Cause Map is proclaimed to be the boundary of internal safety management. In this case it represents the complete and disjoint coverage of the union of SMS components and safety culmre components. 

The first one focuses on the evaluation of passive safety measures and is called the injury shift method. The basic idea is that a passive safety measure has a positive effect on the severity of injuries sustained at a specific component. The assumption is that below 40 kph, optimized components result in a reduction of one level on the abbreviated injury scale (AIS) [50] (for a detailed description of AIS see Sect. 5.1,... 

The ALMS is part of the NSSS Integrity Monitoring System and is described in CESSAR-DC, Sections 7.7.1.6.1 and 7.7.1.6.2. The function of the ALMS is to detect a leak at specific locations or within specific components in the primary system including the primary safety valves. The ALMS provides the control room operator with a direct and unambiguous method of determining the position (open or closed) of the pressurizer safety valves as required by NUREG-0737. 

The safety survey is a detailed inspection, generally into one aspect of the woik system. A survey could be used to examine a specific component in either the woik environment or the management system. Usually, the safety survey requires consideration across the whole range of organizational lesponsibiUties. The need to carry out a safety survey can arise out of a woikplace inspection or a safety audit. 

Table 6-4 provides an overview of a management system and the specific components for a simple safety program. 

Reliability data from safety related components in nuclear power plants have been collected since the mid-70s in France, USA and Sweden. All plant owners in the Nordic countries have joined together and established a database for component failures, which is continuously updated. A new edition of the database with updated reliability data (bodi plant specific and general) including analysis of failure rates, uncertainties etc. is published about every four years to assist the utilities in performing their PSAs. The same work has been performed with respect to initiating events. Recently, die 2nd edition has been issued, based on Nordic experience. 

Besides the nominal system components, the system includes a safety kernel that is responsible for adjusting the performance level of specific components or reconfiguring the system, such that each function will be executed with a desired level of service (LoS). The safety kernel is necessarily in the predictable part of the system. For its operation, the safety kernel collects timeliness and sensor data validity information. It then uses this information to verify if safety rules are satisfied, determining the adequate LoS for each function. Depending on the combination of LoS for the different functions, a specific system configuration and/or component performance level is enforced. 

The process of detecting possible failures in embedded systems is normally performed by safety experts who identify the failure mechanisms using CFT analysis in order to trace all possible reasons for each specific top-level event during the system s lifetime. Their objective is to find all possible safety-critical components that might trigger the underlying hazard. They design this model based on all possible failure relations between the system components related to... 

Note also that synonyms for each chemical are common shipping or industry names. Brand or company product names are not given. The reader should careMly examine product material safety data sheets to identify ingredients or specific components that are potentially active or toxic, and then identify the chemical ingredients in the accompanying table. The reader should also refer to the data provided in Chapter S on physical and chemical properties. Data in Chapter S also provides additional information on fire conditions such as latent heats of vaporization, heats of combustion, and heats of decomposition. The last two subsections in this chapter provide further information. 

A review of the fire log book and other documentation relating to fire safety systems is likely to indicate specific component failures, which can then assist in identifying an appropriate replacement programme. 

Studies (HiP-HOPS) [12] and Component Fault Trees (CFT) [6]. For specific component-based specification languages, the later two techniques allow tool-supported and automated generation of a safety evaluation model. A limitation of these safety analysis techniques is their inability to handle cycles in the control-or data-flow architecture of the system cycles, of course, appear in most realistic systems. Fault Propagation and Transformation Calculus (FPTC) [15] was one of the first approaches that could automatically carry out failure analysis on systems with cycles by using fixed-point analysis.
