Insights gained from the internal events probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) and from the pilot plant demonstration of the fire-induced vulnerability evaluation (FIVE) have been used to initiate corrective actions in the form of administrative controls, compensatory measures, and plant modifications to reduce the risks associated with significant core-damage sequences. Palo Verde was a pilot demonstration plant for the FIVE methodology developed by the Electrical Power Research Institute and sponsored by the Nuclear Utility Management and Resources Council. Several findings emerged from the application of FIVE and have been acted upon to reduce the impact of fire in several compartments of the plant.
