Abstract
A fault tree analysis is reported of an auxiliary feedwater system intended for Westinghouse 4-loop reactors. The analysis is structured to find the comparative reliability of design variants and the comparative importance of failure modes, rather than to generate an absolute risk assessment. Many insights useful in design and operation are obtained.
