Abstract
Aim of the paper is to present the results of a risk analysis concerning a PWR nuclear power plant conducted by the use of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) techniques. The work has to be seen as a part of a more complex and articulated research in the field of reactor safety, presently being performed at the Nuclear and Mechanical Engineering Department of Pisa University. After having identified and selected the most frequent initiating events, their potential consequences have been evaluated and reported in event trees, each one being representative of a peculiar transient configuration.
