Probabilistic risk analysis

A qualitative and quantitative assessment of the risk associated with plant or facility operation and maintenance that is measured in terms of frequency of occurrence of risk metrics, such as release category frequency and its effects on the health of the public.

[also referred to as a probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) or quantitative risk assessment (QRA)].

Correspondence, reports and recommendations related to the implementation of probabilistic risk analysis at facilities and sites, review of specific documents as well as reviews of DOE safety related directives addressing probabilistic risk analysis.
