The use of level 1 PRA in regulatory decision making in the Republic of South Africa
Description
The development and application of a ''living'' Level 1 PRA for implementation on a 386-type PC and use in South Africa regulatory decision making is described. Particular aspects of the methodology such as the method of categorization of plant damage states and the use of support systems are discussed. The practical applicability of the model to the resolution of licensing concerns is illustrated by means of a range of examples including the reliability of emergency power supplies, the loss of ultimate heat sink, and the importance of common mode. It is concluded that the PRA is an essential and valuable tool for effective decision making in licensing. (author). 7 refs, 3 figs, 1 tab
