Abstract
Abstract The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), in cooperation with nuclear utilities in the U.S., embarked on a joint effort to document and demonstrate state of the art fire probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) methods. The principal objective of this project, known as the Fire Risk Requantification Study, was to develop a technical basis and guidance to clarify issues affecting application of fire risk methods. The project culminated in the publication of a joint RES/EPRI consensus FPRA method. The methodology document was finalized in September 2005 and is now being used to support a range of risk informed/performance based (RI/PB) applications in nuclear power plant fire protection.
