Expert opinion in risk analysis: The NUREG-1150 methodology
Description
The Reactor Risk Reference Document [US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 1987] is the most comprehensive study and application of probabilistic risk analysis and uncertainty analysis methods for nuclear power generation safety since the Reactor Safety Study [US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 1975]. Many of the issues addressed in PRA work such as NUREG-1150 involve phenomena that have not been studied through experiment or observation to an extent that makes possible a definitive analysis. In many instances, the rarity or severity of the phenomena make resolution impossible at this time. In these instances, the best available information resides with experts who have studied the phenomena in question. This paper is about a reasoned approach to the acquisition of expert opinion for use in PRA work and other public policy areas
