  Helping to save the plant safety puzzle: An overview of PRA
  Probabilistic risk assessments (PRAs) have advanced the safe operation of the U.S. reactor fleet over many decades. Risk insights from PRAs have provided information from many different perspectives, from what is most important to maintain at a facility to a better understanding of how to address new information regarding safety issues. The methods and tools that have supported the creation and enhancement of PRA models were established through multiple decades of research, starting with WASH-1400, The Reactor Safety Study,¹ published in 1975, through the comprehensive plant-specific models in use today.

Worldwide Integrated View on Main Nuclear Energy Issues

Item ID: 690052

1997|1st Edition|200 pages

Description

Published by the International Nuclear Societies Council (INSC), the information presented in Worldwide Integrated View on Main Nuclear Energy Issues represents the unanimous position achieved by the 14 INSC member societies on each subject.

This 312-page book gathers seven selected issues that the INSC worked on over a span of two years and presents the common positions on those issues. Coverage includes these important issues: nuclear safety, public acceptance, the nuclear role in the future, radioactive waste, nuclear nonproliferation, risk methods, and low doses. For each of these subjects a comprehensive description of the current status of the subject, as well as the trends for the future, are provided.

This collection of papers is directed not only to the scientific community but also to the institutions, governments, and politicians concerned with the subjects covered.
