Currently, at some nuclear plants, probabilistic risk assessments (PRAs) are being used to improve technical specifications and regulations, both from a risk perspective and from a burden perspective. These applications are serving as first-phase implementations of risk-based regulation programs. The PRAs are specifically used to develop deterministic criteria and guidelines for implementations in operations and technical specifications. These implementations are interesting and important because they show how PRAs can be used to obtain workable, deterministic guidelines and criteria for risk-based regulation programs. The operators, utility personnel, and regulatory personnel do not see probabilities, risk values, or any other direct results from the PRA but instead work with improved, deterministic technical specifications and regulations that are based on PRA optimizations.
