OSTI ID:5330995

A detailed plan has been developed describing the scope, major tasks and levels of effort required for an industry team to conduct a comprehensive, balanced probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) of Duke Power's Oconee Unit 3. This project has been initiated by the Nuclear Safety Analysis Center with the objective of directly involving nuclear utility engineers in working with PRA methods, and providing a model plans specific study to guide future such efforts by nuclear utilities. The project spans a calendar year and calls for investment of about 12 NSAC/utility man years, about 5 contractor man years, and additional support resources from NSAC and Duke Power Company.
