Synosis Points
1
This standard specifies the requirements for conducting Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) to support risk-informed decision-making for commercial nuclear power plants. It provides a technology-neutral framework that can be adopted to specific applications.
2
The scope of this standard is limited to Level-1 PRA for internal events occurring at full power operating conditions, with the reactor core as the primary source of radioactivity. It covers PRA applications related to design, operation, and maintenance phases of the plant lifecycle.
3
This standard aims to:
a) Identify potential design and operational vulnerabilities;
b) Support risk-informed and performance-based decision-making; and
c) Provide guidance on capturing the “as-built” and “as-operated” configurations of the plant for accurate risk modeling.
4
The standard also includes guidance on the treatment of uncertainties and the quality assurance aspects necessary for a technically sound and credible PRA.
