A Reliability Study on the ALERTUS Emergency Management Notification System

Muna, Alice B.; LaFleur, Chris B.

Sandia National Laboratories conducted a reliability analysis on the Alertus mass notification system to determine if improvements need to be made to the system to increase reliability. The Alertus mass notification system for Building 803 was analyzed with a set number of components. The components, their associated failure modes and failure mode rates were inputted into a fault tree in the SAPHIRE software which calculated the reliability of the system to be 0.998269.

Identification of Hydrogen Material Risk Research Areas

Ehrhart, Brian D.; Muna, Alice B.

This report presents a research framework for the application of quantitative risk assessment to hydrogen materials, based on the identification of potential areas of research, a literature review, and a plan for future work in the area of hydrogen materials risk. After outlining basics on hydrogen infrastructure, with a focus on pressure vessels, a number of materials risk topics are identified and discussed. Of these, four important areas of risk application to hydrogen materials are highlighted and discussed in further detail. The four topics are initial crack distribution in metals, damage and stress rupture in composites, and polymer behavior in high pressure hydrogen. These topics vary in scope, specificity, level of anticipated resources required, and potential impact to the field. Finally, recommendations are made for future research on the highest priority topics.

Hydrogen Quantitative Risk Assessment

Muna, Alice B.; Ehrhart, Brian D.; Hecht, Ethan S.; Bran Anleu, Gabriela A.; Blaylock, Myra L.; LaFleur, Chris B.

DOE has identified consistent safety, codes, and standards as a critical need for the deployment of hydrogen technologies, with key barriers related to the availability and implementation of technical information in the development of regulations, codes, and standards. Advances in codes and standards have been enabled by risk-informed approaches to create and implement revisions to codes, such as National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 2, NFPA 55, and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Specification (TS)-19880-1. This project provides the technical basis for these revisions, enabling the assessment of the safety of hydrogen fuel cell systems and infrastructure using QRA and physics-based models of hydrogen behavior. The risk and behavior tools that are developed in this project are motivated by, shared directly with, and used by the committees revising relevant codes and standards, thus forming the scientific basis to ensure that code requirements are consistent, logical, and defensible.
