her the results of an evaluation that uses this methodology meet the required NFPA 805 performance goals, performance objectives, and performance criteria (d) For risk assessments using PRA methods, a justification of the technical adequacy of the PRA model per RG 1.200 for evaluation of the changes to which it will be applied (e) For risk assessments using PRA methods, a description of the peer review and how the review findings have been addressed.
