0001 001 Common Cause Failure Methods Research HM Nuclear Installations Inspectorate (part of the HSE), Bootle Merseyside United Kingdom Nuclear 1992 4 months Fixed price CCF Consultancy  YES NO NO NO Working on behalf of HM Nuclear Installations Inspectorate, PMSC Limited investigated the distinction between “direct” and “indirect” Common Cause Failure system defences. PMSC developed methods to allow a ranking of these defences, in terms of their effect in reducing the likelihood of CCFs.
The checklist consisted of specific questions which were raised on a system in a way in which the levels of CCF defence present could be readily identified and assessed. The ranking exercise was undertaken using a series of paired comparisons to judge the comparative weight of influence of each defence. Examples of the direct defences considered were redundancy, diversity, separation and segregation, whilst the indirect defences considered were defences such as reliability analysis.
The culmination of this research was to produce a framework and checklist for the purposes of CCF auditing.

This work involved the procurement of software to provide the planning tools, and the use of the Monte Carlo simulation. The first step was the development of a detailed plan for each of the proposed five possessions. The plan was then subjected to a detailed review to investigate the possible impacts of over-runs on each of the individual tasks. This information was then put into the Monte Carlo simulation software, and a profile for the likelihood of successfully completing each possession was produced. The output from the analysis was fed back into the strategy for the possession planning in order to have a high confidence that the work to be undertaken could actually be completed within the planned possessions, ie. to minimise the risk of possession over-run and thus avoid penalty costs which are inevitably incurred when possessions over-run.
