Report Title:
PRA uses and techniques - a Nordic perspective
Activity Acronym:
SÄK-1
Authors:
Stephen Dinsmore (edt.)
Abstract:
Techniques for probabilistic risk analysis (PRA) are analyzed with
special emphasis on their application in nuclear power plants.
Methods and codes currently available for PRA analysis in the
Nordic countries are evaluated and compared. Additionally, the ability
to generate unique failure parameters from available plant data
bases and generic data sources is examined. The subsequent application
of PRA techniques as an aid in the licensing and regulatory
process is discussed.
