Description

The National Academy of Sciences Study of the USDOE Category A Reactors recommended that a Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) should be performed on the EBR-11 Reactor. In January 1989, a Level 1 PRA was initiated. This report documents work performed in completing the Level 1 PRA except for seismic analysis; it describes the methodology used, assumptions made, the analysis performed, and the final results. The seismic risk assessment is in progress. It will be separately documented.
