Description

In 1990, three supporting probabilistic indicators were included in the new version of the USSR main regulatory document ''General Rules of Ensuring Nuclear Power Plant Safety''. The series of guidelines for conducting PSA is under development. The nuclear regulatory body encourages the practical use of PSA methodology both for NPP design and operation. Two examples of the use of probabilistic methodology for technical specifications assessment are described. It is stressed that the regulatory body considers probabilistic methods as an important but supporting tool for making regulatory decisions. (author). 2 refs, 1 figs
