5. Nuclear safety specialists shall demonstrate a working level knowledge of the

principle hazard and accident analysis methods.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

a. Identify and discuss the use of different methods for qualitative hazard analysis. Identify

specific strengths and weaknesses with the various methods.

b. Discuss the methods used to identify and categorize the hazards associated with

Department nuclear safety analysis.

c. Identify and discuss the methods used to determine and analyze failure modes of SSCs,

administrative controls and control programs.

d. Identify and discuss methods available to reviewers to determine if a hazard analysis has

omitted important accident vulnerabilities.

e. Identify and discuss the relationship between hazard analysis and the postulation of

accidents for quantitative consequence analysis in Documented Safety Analyses for DOE

nuclear facilities. Describe what factors govern the choice of an accident warranting further

consequence analysis.

Identify and discuss essential elements of deterministic and probabilistic risk assessment

techniques.

g. Given an accident source term of radionuclide/hazardous chemical release, discuss the

factors that should be considered in selection of an appropriate computer code for off-site
