Question: Draw the event tree for the following problem and find the probabilities for shut - down and runway outcomes. Initiating Event: Loss of coolant Four

Draw the event tree for the following problem and find the probabilities for shut-down and runway outcomes.
Initiating Event: Loss of coolant
Four safety interventions
-High temperature alarm
-Operator noticing the high temperature during normal inspection
-Operator re-establishes the coolant flow
-Operator performs emergency shutdown of reactor
Assume loss of coolant occurs once per year (occurrence frequency 1/yr)
Alarm failure rate is 0.015 failures/demand
Operator fails to notice high reactor temperature 0.20 failures/demand
Operator successfully restart coolant flow 0.70 success/demand
Operator successfully shuts down reactor 0.88 success/demand
Outcomes
-Continued operation
-Shut down
-Runaway (Evacuation)
 Draw the event tree for the following problem and find the
