Safety & Reliability Analysis - Rolls-Royce

SERVICE OFFERING
Safety & Reliability Analysis
SAFETY, LICENSING AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Rolls-Royce has the capability to support
reactor vendors, operators and regulators
through the preparation or review of Safety
and Reliability Analyses.
Helped by our understanding in all aspects of Safety Case Engineering,
Rolls-Royce has comprehensive experience of the main methodologies
involved in Safety and Reliability Analyses, and in particular the integration
of the two engineering disciplines.
We undertake Safety and Reliability Analysis using both:
Rolls-Royce Engineers cross-check the various outputs from Safety and
Reliability Analyses to provide a strong demonstration of As Low As
Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) and confidence in design. The benefit to
the Civil Nuclear Design process includes identifying:

Experience/References:
Rolls-Royce
is responsible for the design and manufacture of the pressurised water
reactors (PWR) which power the UK submarine fleet. A prime function
of this task involves the management of the Safety Cases covering
both manufacturing operations, and the operation and maintenance
(including refuelling) of the PWRs. Safety and Reliability Analysis is critical
to the successful operation of the fleet, the objective being to identify
maintenance requirement in advance of failure. The use of deterministic
and probabilistic safety assessments, together with FMEA/FMECA, is a
crucial element of the task and the data provided from the Vulcan Reactor
Site is a significant input to the process.
Applications:
Rolls-Royce experience of Safety & Reliability Analysis has a wide variety of
applications, including:
operational facilities;
requirements, and advising on possible design revisions;
Rolls-Royce operates the site on behalf
of the MoD which has recently completed 50 years of reactor prototype
operation. This operational experience has been fed back into design
and provides an important calibration against predicted reliability and
failure modes.
