Report of a technical committee meeting %XThe Technical Committee Meeting on Procedures for Use of PSA for Optimizing Operational Limits and Conditions for Nuclear Power Plants was held in Barcelona from 20 to 23 September 1993 to serve as a forum for discussion of the development of methods and approaches for PSA applications. The meeting was co-sponsored by the IAEA and the Asco and Vandellos nuclear power plants in Spain and was attended by more than 85 participants from 23 countries. The 35 papers and presentations reflected the extent of activities in this area worldwide. Most of the papers discuss PSA application programmes and/or specific methods and approaches used. This TECDOC, which was prepared by the participants of the Technical Committee meeting, summarizes the insights gained from the papers and plenary discussions. It also presents the conclusions of the work of three working groups which discussed the advantages and limitations of specific aspects of PSA. It provides an up-to-date description of computerized tools for risk monitoring in used or under development in Member States. It is hoped that this report will be a useful source of information on PSA applications.
