OSTI ID:6925660
In this paper we present observations on a number of issues related to seismic PRAs including: strengths and weaknesses of seismic PRAs; uncertainty, sensitivity and variability; common misconceptions; possible improvements in seismic safety acceptance criteria; recommended modifications to the NRC approach to safety goals; and major problems. Some specific examples are provided.
