A Nuclear Utility's Views on the Use of Probabilistic Risk Assessment

Thomas A. Daniels and K. S. Canady

Risk Analysis, 1984, vol. 4, issue 4, 281-286

Abstract: Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is a relatively new tool in the nuclear industry. The Reactor Safety Study started the present trend of conducting PRAs for nuclear power plants when it was published in 1975. Now, nine years later, those in the industry currently using PRA techniques are frequently asked the same question: Why should the nuclear utility industry, with so many accepted analytical tools already available, invest the time and manpower to develop a new technique with so many uncertainties?
