Analysis of allowed outage times at the Byron Generating Station

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5607093
This report provides a critical review of the methods used in WCAP-10526 which proposed that allowed outage times (AOTs) for a number of safety systems in the Byron Generating Station be increased from 3 to 7 days, and presents an independent estimate of the change in risk involved in the AOT extension. It also presents results of several sensitivity studies. Also included are a survey of methods that can be used to evaluate nuclear power plant technical specifications and a description of pairwise importance measures. 53 tabs.
