Foreword
Reports are prepared by engineers in U.S. nuclear power piar.*;: for u vide
range of component failures and similar occurrences. I hi- pr-vcii- reporting re
quirements are specified in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Coi?.-issicn£ Regulatory
Guide 1.16. Until 197i*t such reports were termed Abnorssai Occurrence reports.
but since then the term "Abnormal Occurrence reports" has beer, reserved for
those occurrences which have seme safety significance. What were earlier tersed
"Abnormal Occurrences" are now as a general class, t erred Reportable- Occurrences.
The reports are published by the US NRC. The work here ccr.cerr.r a study cf
"Abnormal Occurrence Reports", using the pre 19?** definition and data up tc and
including spring 197^• The data cover a wide range of occurrence types. In. par
ticular they give component failure data mostly of relatively uni-portar.t indi
vidual component failures, such as miscalibration of a single redundant instru-
ment, but in sone cases for failures of sorse engineering significance. The re-
forts are much less forssal than those required for reliability data oanks. They
give considerably more background information concerning t'.ie cause ard natur--
of failures than do reliability data banks; and also much -nore information
concerning consequences and interrelationships between separate failures.
For this reason, the reports provide very valuable information, which is
relevant not only to the study of nuclear power plant reliability, but also
provides insight into the way failures can occur in many different kinds of
process plant.

A STUDY OF ABNGSKAL OCCURRENCE REPORTS
latroductiori
An earlier study (Ris^-K-17^2) attested to evaluate the rcle of design
etr<*rs in nuclear power plant reliability. The results of that study showed
that design error plays a large role ir. cover plant failure: a.-.d the surprising
result that an unexpectedly large proportion of failure Incidents involve sev
eral independent component failures.
Several questions arose as a result of that earlier work. Gr.e would ~x-
ptet- that the role of design error diminishes for individual plants as they
grow older. It was decided to investigate the senier.ce of afcr.or.Tial occurrence
reports from individual reactors over a number of years.
Another question is the extent tc which separate failures in rnulti-failure
incidents contribute significantly to the failure consequence. It is possible
that several of the failures within an incident have no direct bearing on the
extent of failure consequences. They may play an incidental rather than crucial
par* in the failure sequence.
The remaining area of interest for this study is the problem of common mode
failure. The importance of common sod** failure was established earlier, but the
only datum obtained was a gross figure for the proportion of failures involving
common mode effects. Results of the coisror. 20de failure study performed here
are published separately (Ris2-K-l826).
A major eleaent in motivating this study, was the desire to discover the
weak points in existing techniques of failure sode analys:s of process plant,
and to develop the background information for improving those techniques. There
are some types of failure for which no systematic analysis technique exists,
for erample
- wiring errors involving incorrect interconnections
- "system design" errors in control systems
- mechanical blockage and jamming problems arising from loose parts
- errors in written procedures
- human eri*ors due to confusion between procedures or misinterpretation
of operating situation.
All of these problems involve complex conmon mode effects, and it is
important to discover to what extent they are important ir. practice.
-2-
The procedure in this study has been to take individual incident reports,
and to classify then according to fixed criteria. The nature o; the data prevents
one from obtaining good statistical data with known significance, but it is
felt that qualitative, and "order of Magnitude" conclusions can be drawn from
the results.
Choic* of data
The data used for this study is abnormal occurrence data submitted to the
BSdC by operators of light water reactors. The reason for this choice is that
the iaforaation is readily available, there are consistent criteria for reporting
the data (reporting is required by law}, and the quality of the reporting is
generally excellent. The information differs from that usually available in
reliability data banks, in that complete failure incidents are described, often
involving several individual component failures.
The choice of reactors for this study was determined by the availability
of records for a period of years. Records from the earliest years of reactor
operation were however not available to the author. There has been a change in
style of reporting over a number of years, and this has to some extent negated
the value of the data as a record of "design error" evolution.
Classification of occurrences
For each occurrence report, the date, six month period lumber (from
reactor start up), operating state at the time of occurrence, and method of
failure discovery were recorded. Most failures are detected during surveillance
testing, some via special inspections, but many are discovered as "actual"
failure incidents which interfere with plant operation. In many cases a failed
condition existed over a considerable period, but the plant state recorded
was nevertheless the plant state at the time the failure was discovered. In
virtually all cases it is true that a latent failure, discovered during sur
veillance or special testa, has existed while the plant was operating.
Kach individual component failure was recorded separately for each inci
dent, and in some cases there were several failures contributing to the inci
dent.

Table 2. Classification of "mode of discovery" of failures.
In a study such as this, which is concerned with the cause of failure, it
is important to define the term component failure carefully. A failure is deemed
to have occurred, if a component is incapable of fulfilling its function, in
spite of the fact that inputs such as power supplies, control signals, mechanical
support, etc. are within the limits specified for the component. Failures due
to incorrect input are judged to be consequent failures, and were recorded for
interest, but were excluded from statistical analyses. Failures due »o environ
mental changes were recorded as component failures, unless the environmental
change was a result of some earlier component failure in which case they were
classified as consequent failures, and again omitted from statistical analyses.
The degree to which a plant is divided into "components" also affects the
number of component failures recorded. In this study, a standard level of div-
- < t -
islon into components was used, as expressed by table J. Hoverer, where a
component was part of a larger component or subsystem, this faet was recorded
by concatenating component and system names.

Event sequence
The structure of event sequences has a dirsot bearing on the way in which
failure records are interpreted and used in later failure node analyses. Failures
were classified as spontaneous, gradual, aiaoperation, latent or consequent.
A spontaneous failure is on* which occurs at the tin of the incident and
serves to start the incident. The classification of "gradual" failures was
introduced because it was difficult te describe some kinds of Initial failures

latent failures occur in components which are callod on to work intermit
tently. Such components may exist in a failed state, which i« "revealed" when
the conponent is tested or is called on to operate.
Kisoperation failures are those which occur when a component or operater
is called on to carry out such operation, and which occur while the conponent
or operator is carrying out the operation.
Consequent failures are those which occur as a direct result of soeje

farther classification of "consequent" failures is possible - Input
failures (I) fi mi i1 failures), overload or stress failures (secondary fail
ures) (0), and direct effect failures (D). Such classification is often Bade
la failure node analysis studies. Bat such classification was Bade only for
coaaon node failures, 1B this study.
Symbolic description of the different kinds of failure are shown in fig.
1 to *» (see KUe Report Kise-H-17->3) • For each of the different kinds of fall
ure, a different nodel is required to describe failure probability.
as a result of the study, sone of the Initial ideas on classification of fail
ures were revised, and these ideas, which were net used in the study itself.
are given i n Appendix 1.
One of the important objectives of thin study was to ohmene the neafter
of failure events occurring in actual failure sequences. For this purpose,
failures detected by testing were ignored. Mao, several failures occurring
within similar components due to a common node effect, were treated as single
failures. Consequent failures which were certain to occur, given earlier fail
ures, is the sequence were ignored. But consequent failures which involved some
probability factor, such as destruction of component« by Impinging stsaa Jets,
were counted as separate failures.
-11-
Coamon mode and coupled failures
As part of the study of multiple failures, a study was made of common mode and coupled failures in similar plant components. The results of this sttriy are iresented in a separate report.
* Failure cause
The objective in this study has been to come as close as possible to the
original cause of failure. Failure causes are classified at two levels, as
shown in table ->. The second level of classification is much less certain tha:.
the first. In the ease of operator and maintenance errors, the subclaseification
was completely experimental.
To maintain consistency of cause classification it is important to have
clear criteria. An error warn considered a design error if it was explicitly
described as much in the abmrmal occurrence report, if it was one of a long
series of similar failures with very high failure rate, or if the design was
modified as a result of the failure. A similar criterion was used for classi
fying procedural errors. Failures were classed as operator errors if this was
explicitly stated in the abnormal occurrence report, and similarly for main
tenance and installation errors. (This can lead to underestimation of operator errors)
Random component failures were recorded in those cases where a simple
standard mechanism of component failure was involved e.g. bearing leakage,
shorting of a relay coil etc., and in which no excessive grouping of failures
of a similar kind occurred.
In some cases, more than one cause of component failure could be discovered.
In other cases, it was difficult to judge between two alternative failure causes.
In these cases, fractional contributions to failure classes were recorded, an
equal fraction to each contributing cause.
In many cases, the same kind ef failure occurred in the same component
several times in the course of a few years. These cases were counted as single
failures in determining relative importance of different failure causes (though
all incidents were counted in determining coaaon mode failure proportions). If
one does not count failure causes in this way, then sone frequently occurring
failure types come to dominate the distribution of causes. The proportion of
design error failures, in particular, becomes Inflated.

Abnormal occurrence reports frem ri«« reactera ven classified for react««
with start up dates in 196a , 196}, 1*7, 1969, and 197o. Abnormal occurrence
reports were generally available to the aether only rroa tk* later years of
reactor operation (fros 1969 onward}.
Both the number and character of abnormal occurrences vane* greatly froa
reactor to reactor. The eariatiaa coald ham aria« froa the differaat emmntity
and type of equipment at the realtor plant, as veil as dir ferene« in reliability
of components. Hoverer, it was hoped that bj concentrating on the eroaortion
of occurrence« of different types, atsnirgful coatlaaions could he draan.
Ås can be seen froa fig. 7 not too aach significance can he attached to
the actual nuabers of abaoraal occurrence reports for successive years.
In addition to abnormal occurrence reports, aoae "unusual m a t " reports
ware included in the analysis, where the reports concern safety related or
pressure boundary equipment (see BSLK safety (aide 13.2. for definition of
abnorasl occurrence, unusual event).
There say be soae Missions of abnormal occurrence reports for the reactors
studied, though where possible records were checked against semiannual operating
reports. On the assumption that omissions are randomly distributed, the effect
on proportions of failure' types should not be too iaportant.
Is all there were 67, 2<t, 33, 1W. 75 abaoraal occurrences for the respect
ive reactors.
Causes of failure
Fig. 8 and 9 show bow the various causes of failure behave as plants grew
older. No significant trends can be detected, the proportion of failures due
to respective causes seen if anything aore or less constant. Bat such more
data would be required, before trends could he detected beneath the nodes)
variations in the data. As has been observed in esrlier studies, design error
seems to be the dominant cause of failure, followed by random component failure.
Table 5 gives the numbers of failures attributed to particular cause classes,
for each of the reactors studied. The pattern ia aore or leas constant, appart
froa an unusually high proportion of failures attributed to eaintanaace errora,
for one of the older reactors, and a coaplete lack of reported operator errors
for one reactor.
The classification of secondary causes for design, operator, procedure, and
aaintenanee errors are shown in tables 6 to 9. Tot classifications bare are
sxptrinental, and should be regarded as indicative rather than definite. Sash
slaaslfieations can be used as a guide to qualitative studies of failure causes.

It is possible to make some qualitative comments on the results.
A lsrge proportion of design errors involve effects which were unknown
before failure occurred. Many failures ot this type occur repeatedly, the
same component sometimes being repaired several times before the failure is
correctly diagnosed. Such incidents underline the value of abnormal occurrence
reporting.
Another large group of design errors involve inappropriate choice, of
materials, or especially, of instruments. Problems of this kind can be reduced
by qualification testing and standardisation, activities which are receiving
a great deal of attention from nuclear engineers.
By far the largest proportion of operator errors involve omission or
oversight, involving just a single type of plant operations. By their nature,
such errors are relatively easy to forsee, and analyse, even in the cases
where several components are affected in a common mode fashion. More serious
are the errors due to lack of recognition of dangerous situations, misrecog-
nition, application of inappropriate procedures or application of correct
procedures to the wrong component. Among installation and maintenance errors,
difficulties in adjusting limit switches and torque switches are outstanding.
Some types of failure are difficult to account for in failure analysis.
It is difficult to identify all of the failures of this kind, but the following
provides a list of errors which occurred, but for which no systematic failure
analysis procedure exists (as yet).

Couclusions
Conclusions as to the meaning and importance of the kind of results given
here have been presented before (Rise—M-17**2). The additional data collected
hare serve merely to reinforce those conclusions which are
1) That design and other human errors are responsible for a significant
number of failures and abnormal occurrences.
2) Some "design error" type failures cannot be accounted for in tra
ditional types of reliability analysis.
3) Improvement in particular component reliability performance, in
testing, and in standardisation, should be valuable in improving
plant reliability, because a small number of component types are
responsible for a large proportion of failures.
*0 Multiple failure incidents play an unexpectedly large role in
abnormal occurrences. Records of interrelationships between
failures would be a useful addition to failure statistics data
bases.
In addition to these.remarks, some conclusions can be offered concerning
the type of classification study attempted here.
It would be useful to obtain some standardization of the terms used in
classifying different types of failure, according to the way in which failures
reveal themselves, the plant state at «he time of occurrence and/cr discovery,
and the triggering mechanism of the failure. The classification used here is
self consistent, but is different from schemes used elsewhere.
The classification of primary causes of failure seems acceptable, and
is similar to that use by the U8AEC (e.g. CCE-OS-001, 197'*). However the method
of classification used here, attributing a failure to a single class, or using
fractions to represent degree of responsibility for a particular causa, is
•assy. Accepting that a failure may have several causes, and that the per
centages of failures due to different causes may total to more t&an locje,
»erne preferable. But if this method of classification is accepted, sow defi
nition must be made of how important and unusual an effect oust be, before it
is accepted as a contributing cause of failure.
The classification of different failure causes into secondary categories
was not particularly successful. Often there was insufficient information in
the abnormal occurrence reports to make classification precise. And the cat-
-27-
egoriee used here often overtapped. The information in such classification
should not be used to derive percentages to which different causes are respon
sible for failures. The information might be used to perform clustering studies,
with the hope of finding more clearly identifiable types of failure.
Uncertainty as to cause of failure should not be used as an excuse for
assigning two causes to a particular failure. Instead, if there are several
clearly alternative causes, this fact should be recorded explicitly (e.g.
A/B aeans either cause A or cause B is involved, C H D/E means either cause
C and E are together responsible, or cause E is responsible). Failure for which
causes are unknown, should be recorded separately. Only in this way is it
possible to interpret the meaning of failure cause data.
A revised system of classifying different failures according to event
sequences, is given in appendix 1.
-28-
Affieodtx i. Classification of failure events
Classificatici of the different kind of failure events which can enter
into event sequences is useful and important, because it indicates the relevance
of particular pieces of failure data to different reliability calculation models.
In fact, as reliability models become more complex, more complex failure classi
fications are required. The scheme introduced here ie therefore just a particu
lar example of a range of possible schemes which differ in level of detail.
The first distinction is made between failures which are caused by some
external event or process, and those which arise with no apparent cause or for
which the failure cause is an inherent property of the component. This second
group is the one which has been called "random component failure" earlier in
this note* These are called spontaneous failures here. Examples are the normal
forme of bearing failure, relay contact failure etc., for which no specific cause
can be described, or which cannot be prevented in normal engineering practice.
Examples of typical causes in the first group of failures are design and instal
lation errors, extreme environmental conditions, misoperation by an operator etc.
A distinction which is equally important for obtaining a reliability model
of failure consequences is whether the effects follow instantaneously from the
failure, or whether the effects are gradual (e.g. slow leakage of some valuable
material).
When components operate Intermittently or only occasionally (such as safety
systems) or with intermittent load (such as many pneumatic orhydraulic systems)
a third distinction becomes important - whether the effects of the failure remain
latent, or whether the consequences show themselves inraediately. In the case of
a latent failure, a failure event occurs at some time. The component is reduced
to a state in which it cannot operate according to specifications. When the
component is called upon to operate (the failure is triggered), a "failure to
operate" occurs.
The definitions of the various failure types are illustrated in fig* 7*

Fig. 7* Definitions of failure classes.
For latent failures, the stage at which the failure is discovered becomes
important, especially for systems in which automatic continuous testing and
periodic testing is performed.
A latent failure may remain hidden due to the fact that the particular
type of error is not exercised or triggered by the test inputs applied. These
failures are called "ttntriggered", Equally* a failure may be triggered, but
its effects may not be indicated because the failure alarm outputs and test
measurements performed, are inadequate. These failures are called unmonitored.

Finally, it is useful, in classifying oultiple failure sequences, to
indicate whether a failure was initial (initiated the sequence), contributory
(independent, but triggered as a result of the initial failure, or increasing
the consequences of the initial failure), or consequent (caused by the initial
failure).
