[time-nuts] Reliability of atomic clocks

Moin,

Maybe someone here can help me.
I am looking for data on the reliability of atomic clocks.
I.e. how often and, if possible, how they fail.

Unfortunately, if I google for reliability then all that pops up
are descriptions of the accuracy and stability of atomic clocks.
If I go for MTBF I only get two papers from the 70s that tackle
the problem in general, without giving any data.

Does someone know where I could find current data about MTBF and
failure modes of atomic clocks? Given the number of 5071's installed
in labs, there must be at least some data on them....
