OSTI ID:5913355
Sandia National Laboratories is currently performing a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) of the La Salle, Unit 2 BWR. This study is the most comprehensive PRA ever sponsored by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC). It includes a detailed analysis of core damage accidents caused by internal, external, and common-cause events. This paper presents an overview of the methodology being employed in the analysis of these events, as well as a discussion of the types of results the PRA hopes to achieve.
