NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2012-0037]


WORKSHOP Sponsored by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the 
Electric Power Research Institute on the Treatment of Probabilistic 
Risk Assessment Uncertainties: Public Meeting

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Office of 
Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES), in cooperation with the Electric 
Power Research Institute (EPRI), will hold a joint workshop on the 
Treatment of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) Uncertainties. Since 
2002, RES and EPRI, under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 
Cooperative Nuclear Safety Research, have been developing state-of-the-
art methods for conduct of PRA.
    The purpose of the workshop is to bring together experts to gain a 
better understanding of the sources of uncertainty, how they manifest 
in the PRA, and their potential significance to the PRA model and 
results. More specifically, the workshop will address uncertainties 
associated with risk assessments for internal fires, seismic events, 
low power and shutdown (LPSD) conditions, and for the Level 2 portion 
of PRAs.

DATES: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 (8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.);
    Thursday, March 1, 2012 (8:30 a.m.--12:30 p.m.)
