Total System Hazards Analysis for the Western Area Demilitarization Facility at Hawthorne Army Ammunition Plant. Priority 3 - Decontamination Building, Large Items Flashing Chamber, Driverless Tractor System, Offloading Dock, and Magazines. Volume 1. Summary Report and Appendices.
Abstract
This report contains the results of a hazards analysis of the Decontamination Building, Large Items Flashing Chamber, Driverless Tractor System, Offloading Dock and Magazines at the Western Area Demilitarization Facility (WADF) at Hawthorne, Nevada. 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. These techniques were described in the Priority 1 report and are repeated here in Appendix A. The hazards analysis that was conducted produced two types of results. First, the scenarios that can lead to a hazardous outcome were identified by constructing fault tree logic diagrams for each plant section. Such scenarios are chains of events or combinations of events that must occur together or in sequence to cause the outcome of concern.
