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.

Description
The map shows the location of each commercial power reactor in Europe and Russia that is operable, under construction, or ordered as of March 31, 2019. Tabular information includes each reactor's generating capacity (in Net MWe), design type, date of commercial operation (actual or expected), and reactor supplier.
NOTES: (1) United States nuclear power plants are shown on the U.S. map only, not on this worldwide map. (2) The remaining worldwide nuclear power plants in The Americas, Africa, and Asia are shown on that worldwide map only.
