Purpose of HA Protect ESS workers and the public from accidents with potential radiological consequences Identify hazardous events associated with the facility processes, associated operations, work activities, and natural phenomena – High power beam impacting the tungsten target material will create an inventory of nuclides – 3000 kg of tungsten, 5 MW beam, 5 year target wheel lifetime Understand potential hazardous scenarios Define necessary mitigating measures – Input to system design requirements Target systems, building features, PSS, TSS – Identify need for safety functions Identify evaluate control these events 3

Hazard Analysis Overview Perform Qualitative Hazard Analysis – Identify bounding scenarios Execute Quantitative Accident Analysis of each bounding scenario – Evaluate accident in terms of dose consequences to workers and public – Identify need for risk and/or consequence reducing measures – Identify functions that can prevent or mitigate hazardous scenario May include passive engineered safety features, active controls, and admin controls Select Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs) that perform these safety functions – Prevent or control hazard – Assign classification to SSCs – Classification mandates appropriate requirements for each SSC – Evaluate effectiveness of chosen SSCs Feed HA results into system designs & operational procedures 4

Accident Analyses – Quantitative HA Identify set of formalized design basis accidents from hazard analysis – 350 Top Events from qualitative HAs – At least one event from each of the major types identified in HA – Accident with most severe consequences within a group of similar accidents – If prevented or mitigated, the group does not require additional safety functions Accident Analysis inputs – Inventories Tungsten ✔ Target cooling helium ✔ Moderator water ✔ Reflector beryllium ✔ Reflector water ✔ – Dose calculation procedures (ESH) ✔ For both dose to worker and to reference member of the public – Allowable dose limits ✔ Workers (ESS) and public (SSM) 7

Accident Analyses – Quantitative HA Identify 21 accident analyses Evaluate events – Describe system Determine baseline assumptions for event – Describe evolution of event Include simulations, calculation of effect on system or neighboring system – Consider all PIEs identified in Qualitative HA Quantitative determination of probability for occurrence – Identify inventory Determine source term – amount of radioactive material released during accident scenario – Calculate dose consequence to worker and/or public Identify need for risk reduction measures – prevent and/or mitigate event Control events – Determine required safety functions – Select risk reducing measures – hierarchy giving preference to passive engineered safety features over active, engineered over active controls or administrative controls and preventative over mitigative – Holistic approach – optimize selection How options fit with other analyses? Consider options to prevent and/or mitigate within other systems Consider impact on operations – Specify safety-related and safety SSCs – structures, systems and components – Reassess event evolution and dose consequences with safety measures implemented 10
