ABSTRACT

The Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement in NUREG-0880, Rev. 1, directs the 
staff " … to collect available information on PRA studies and prepare a reference 
document that describes the current status of knowledge concerning the risk of plants 
licensed in the U.S. " The document discusses the purpose and content of a PRA and 
identifies the PRAs and other probabilistic studies performed to date. It then discusses 
the level of development and uncertainties associated with the various elements of 
PRA methodology as well as those generic insights derived from studies performed. 
Finally, potential uses of PRA in regulation are evaluated.
