F201 INTRODUCTION TO FIRE PRA
|
 |
COURSE DESCRIPTION
(Duration: 3 ½ days) This course discusses in detail the topic of fire hazard and risk assessment. Topics include fire modeling and propagation, inventory optimization, fire safe shutdown, Appendix R requirements and analysis, NFPA 805, and fire PRA construction and quantification.
 COURSE OBJECTIVES
- Discuss the history of External Event Analysis and the background of IPEEEs.
- Familiarize participants with the terminology and approaches used to assess external event hazards and risks.
- Relate the approaches of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) to external event analysis.
- Describe the state-of-the-art methods for performing ASME PRA Standard requirements to external event risk assessments.
- Explain methods of external event analysis using basic principles and examples.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is designed for the individual who has basic knowledge of PRA and requires better understanding for the approach to fire analysis and the state-of-the are methodologies used in creating a Fire PRA today.
INSTRUCTORS
Scott Beck
Mr. Beck has been in the risk and reliability assessment field for 18 years. His educational background includes a M.S. in Instrumentation and Control Systems, a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, and a B.A. in Chemistry, all from Idaho State University. A majority of his career was a Probabilistic Risk Assessment Engineer at the Idaho National Laboratory. Projects include a primary analyst for the SPAR (Standardized Plant Analysis Risk) model program, risk analyst for NGNP (Next Generation Nuclear Plant) licensing procedure, and safety and hazard analyst for chemical, radiological, military and space systems. He also served 15 years as an instructor for the NRC’s PRA Professional Development Program and was an instructor for PRA Technology and Regulatory Perspectives, PRA Basic for Regulatory Applications, SAPHIRE risk analysis software and External Events courses.
Paul Knoespel
Mr. Knoespel has more than thirty years experience in commercial nuclear power operations and support, including more than fifteen years experience with probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) applications, evaluations, and modeling. He has led projects at three sites for PRA model upgrades to meet ASME Standards and implementation of risk-informed regulatory initiatives, and has also been the project manager for NFPA 805 submittal development at two sites. Mr. Knoespel's broad background also includes six years as a BWR station nuclear engineer and three as an SRO- licensed control room shift supervisor.
Robert Ladd
Mr. Ladd has over twenty five years of experience in fire protection engineering and has had major responsibilities in both commercial nuclear and federal governmental projects including all aspects of fire protection program development and implementation. Mr. Ladd's experience includes fire modeling, fire risk quantification, fire PRA peer review, penetration seal evaluation and databases, preparation of engineering evaluations and calculations, Fire Hazards Analyses, and NFPA code conformance evaluations and deviations.
