Development and use of risk-based inspection guides
Risk-based system inspection guides, for nuclear power plants which have been subjected to a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), have been developed to provide guidance to NRC inspectors in prioritizing their inspection activities. Systems are prioritized, and then dominant component failure modes and human errors within those systems are identified for the above-stated purposes. Examples of applications to specific types of NRC inspection activities are also presented. Thus, the report provides guidance for both the development and use of risk-based system inspection guides. Work is proceeding to develop a method methodology for risk-based guidance for nuclear power plants not subject to a PRA. 18 refs., 1 fig.
