Total System Hazards Analysis for the Western Area Demilitarization Facility at Hawthorne Army Ammunition Plant Priority 1 - Steam and Hydraulic Systems. Volume 1, Summary Report and Appendices.

Abstract

This report contains the results of a hazards analysis of the steam and hydraulic systems at the Western Area Demilitarization Facility (WADF) at Hawthorne, Nevada. The analyses have been divided into five plant areas: (1) Washout/Steamout Building North Tower; (2) Washout/Steamout Building South Tower; (3) Refining Building; (4) Bulk Explosives Disposal Facility; and (5) Process Water Treatment Plant. The methodology used was a combination of failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) and fault tree analysis (FTA), with quantification accomplished through the use of a fault tree computer model.
