The functional safety evaluation of the component cooling water pump shaft is one of the important means to decrease nuclear equipment safety problems in nuclear power plants. Aiming at the functional safety evaluation of the component cooling water pump shaft in abrupt faults in nuclear power plants, a method for the functional safety integrity evaluation of the component cooling water pump shaft in nuclear power plants is proposed based on catastrophe theory in this paper. Firstly, the fault characteristics are extracted from the monitoring data of multiple sensors on the component cooling water pump shaft in nuclear power plants, and the fusing results of the fault characteristics are taken as the prognostic parameters. Secondly, the prognostic parameters are adopted to construct the degradation trajectory path of the shaft performance, and the cumulative failure probability of the shaft is calculated based on Monte Carlo method. Finally, the dangerous failure probability of the shaft is calculated based on the cusp catastrophe theory, and the functional safety integrity level of the shaft is evaluated afterward. The condition monitoring data of the component cooling water pump shaft in nuclear power plant were adopted to carry out experiments. The experiment results demonstrate that when abrupt fault exists in the component cooling water pump shaft in nuclear power plants, the proposed method based on catastrophe theory combining performance degradation condition monitoring can improve the functional safety integrity evaluation accuracy of the component cooling water pump shaft in nuclear power plants.
