Common Cause FailuresCommon Cause Failures
DEFINITION
• Subset of Dependent Failures in which two or more component fault states exist at the same time, or within a short time interval, as a result of a shared cause.
• The shared cause is not another component state because such cascading of component states, due to functional couplings, are already usually modelled explicitly in system models.
• Residual dependent failures whose root causes are not explicitly modeled in the PSA.
SIGNIFICANCE
• Defeat the redundancy employed to improve the reliability of safety functions.
• Operating experience has shown that CCF are major contributors to plant risk.

General Insights Regarding CCF EventsGeneral Insights Regarding CCF Events
• Programmatic maintenance practices, major contributors.
• Design problems, specially those resulting from design modifications.
• Human errors, small percentage but greater impact.
• Testing and surveillance program, prevention of CCF.
• Plant-to-plant variability.

CCF Models Characteristics (1/2)CCF Models Characteristics (1/2)
• Basic Parameter:
– Qk can be calculated directly from data.
– Data required are not normally available, so other models with less stringentrequirements on data are used.
• Beta Factor:
– Do not need component success data.
– Simplicity is its main advantage
– Provides conservative results for redundancy levels beyond two (2).

CCF Models Characteristics (2/2)CCF Models Characteristics (2/2)
• Multiple Parameter Models:
– More appropiate for systems with higher levels of redundancy..
– Alpha-factor parameters are more simple to obtain from observable events than MGL.
• BFR Model:
– Component subject to independent failures and dependent shocks (lethal and non-lethal).
– Uses two parameters.
– Less conservative results than β - factor for higher redundancy levels.
– More restrictive than all other multiparameter models.

CCF Data CollectionCCF Data Collection
• CCF are rare events.
• Individual plants present limited experience.
• Global industry experience is needed to make statistical inferences.
• There is a significant variability among plants due to differences in coupling mechanisms and defences.
• Careful review and screening of events with the plant design and the PSA models, to ensure consistency of the data base, is convenient to reduce uncertainties.
