ABSTRACT: Operating experience from different types of industrial installations has shown that combinations of different types of external and internal hazards can occur during the entire lifetime of the installations. Typically, site specific occurring hazards cause or induce other hazardous events (cascading effects) to occur. In particular, natural hazards rarely occur alone. Operating experience collected from nuclear installations has indicated that combinations of fires and other anticipated events do occur during the entire lifetime of these installations from the construction, over the operational phase up to the decommissioning of the installation. Therefore, it was decided to investigate combination of fires and other events or hazards in more detail. This paper presents an overview on lessons learned from event combinations of fires and other hazards occurred at nuclear installations and provides a partly auto-mated approach for selecting credible combinations for different types of installations and the complete spectrum of site.
KEYWORDS: fire, event combination, hazard, operating experience, screening
