Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) Chemical Release Modeling Evaluation

Stirrup, Timothy S.

This evaluation documents the methodology and results of chemical release modeling for operations at Building 518, Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) Core Facility. This evaluation is intended to supplement an update to the CINT [Standalone] Hazards Analysis (SHA). This evaluation also updates the original [Design] Hazards Analysis (DHA) completed in 2003 during the design and construction of the facility; since the original DHA, additional toxic materials have been evaluated and modeled to confirm the continued low hazard classification of the CINT facility and operations. This evaluation addresses the potential catastrophic release of the current inventory of toxic chemicals at Building 518 based on a standard query in the Chemical Information System (CIS).

SWiFT Hydraulic System FMEA

Laros, James H.; Chamberlin, Holly C.; Stirrup, Timothy S.

The purpose of this Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is chosen to examine the potential failures of the systems which could result in an overspeed event with a potential for flying debris from the wind turbine blades. The FMEA method was chosen to examine the turbine hydraulic system because two important turbine protective features use hydraulic pressure to function: the blade pitching system, and the brake. The objective of the FMEA was to determine if the two safety features have a likely common failure point, or if the safety systems can be individually credited for protection of the turbine.
