The utility-funded Zion Probabilistic Safety Study provided not only a detailed and thorough assessment of the risk profile of Zion Unit 1, but also presented substantial advancement in the technology of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). Since performance of that study, modifications of plant hardware, the introduction of new emergency procedures, operational experience gained, information generated by severe accident research programs and further evolution of PRA and uncertainty analysis methods have provided a basis for reevaluation of the Zion risk profile. This reevaluation is discussed in this report. 5 refs.
