Abstract: Abstract Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) studies not only evaluate risk but also their results are very useful in safe, economical and effective design and operation of the engineering systems. This chapter presents various practical applications of PSA. The use of PSA in evaluating surveillance test intervalTest interval and in-service inspectionIn-service inspection intervals at acceptable risk and reduced cost for nuclear power plant (NPP) is discussed.
