Title: Lessons learned from 21 nuclear plant probabilistic risk assessments

Abstract

In the short time that plant-specific, full-scope probabilistic risk assessments (PRAs) have been performed, extensive progress has been made in understanding and managing risk. This paper discusses the various lessons learned during this time. Twenty-one specific PRAs are evaluated.
