Summary
As the result of the actuation of the rupture disk assembly a type ''B'' investigation was initiated in accordance with DOE Order 5484.1. The Investigation Board developed its findings through various means including interviews, examination of failed equipment, testing of controls, completion of a Management Oversight Risk Tree (MORT), Causal Factors Charting, Change Analysis, and investigation of incidents that occurred prior to and after the rupture disk actuation. On May 3, 1985, a dual rupture disk assembly actuated in the X-333 Building on the cell X-33-6-8 (even) Freon condenser. The Freon vapor discharged from the rupture disk assembly and impacted the roof, resulting in 32,400 sq. ft. of roof damage and a loss of 26,900 pounds of Freon coolant. The estimated total cost of property damage and lost Freon coolant was 150,000.
