| Synthesis of Questionnaire Insights Regarding Current PRA and Additional Tools |
|---|
| This paper presents and analyzes the responses to a questionnaire on the nuclear industry's insights on current probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) tools. Many PRA tools traditionally use event tree and fault tree analysis. While these tools are well-established and developed, they are not without limitations. Additionally, the PRA scope is evolving to include other areas of interest, such as external hazard PRAs, human reliability assessments, or dynamic PRAs. A questionnaire was created to engage PRA practitioners and gather insights about the community's views on the advantages/limitations of PRA tools and trending needs. The questionnaire requested anonymous feedback and insights on applying legacy, conventional, and other PRA tools. Additionally, a review/survey was performed of existing resources to supplement the questionnaire and develop a comprehensive analysis. The questionnaire and survey reveal that the needs of the PRA community are evolving, as are the tools they use to accomplish this change. The high-level needs of the PRA community include dynamic PRAs, external hazard analyses, and collaboration. |
