The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has joined hands with key industry personnel to develop a procedures guide on methods of probabilistic risk assessment. In an unprecedented move, the NRC initiated discussions with industry representatives in mid-1980 on the feasibility of gaining broad technical input to its Interim Reliability Evaluation Program (IREP). The objective of the joint NRC-industry program is to prepare a procedures guide that documents the present state of the art for all major facets of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) as applied to nuclear power plants. The guide will not constitute an encyclopedia of all possible approaches, but will focus on one or a few mutually acceptable methods of performing key portions of PRA.
