https://www.iaea.org/events/evt1805011Workshop on Advanced Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) Approaches and Applications
The role of probabilistic methods in safety analysis is outlined in the General Safety Requirements publication Safety Assessment for Facilities and Activities (IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GSR Part 4 (Rev. 1), Vienna, 2016). The paragraph 4.55 under Requirement 15 of GSR Part 4 (Rev. 1) highlights the objectives of a probabilistic safety assessment (PSA), stating that it shall allow analysts to "determine all significant contributing factors to the radiation risks arising from a facility or activity" and provide the "framework for addressing many of the uncertainties explicitly".
PSA results provide a basis for the safety related decision-making process, and the realistic estimation of risk profiles allows decision makers to evaluate the priority, effectiveness and accuracy of safety related decisions.
PSA approaches have continuously evolved and significantly progressed during the last decades. The progress of PSA approaches and applications is conditioned by several factors such as the further development of the state of knowledge, reduced conservatism, and lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. The related topics of interest include:
- Dynamic approaches;
- Software reliability;
- Multi-unit considerations;
- Passive systems reliability;
- Consideration of actions using portable equipment;
- Use of PSAs in the development of severe accident management guidelines;
- Level-3 PSA; and
- Advanced PSA applications.
The exchange of experiences and lessons learned in utilizing advanced PSA approaches and applications could be useful for nuclear safety professionals and organizations engaged in activities related to PSA development and applications for nuclear installations.
ObjectivesThe workshop is intended to provide a forum to Member States to discuss advanced PSA approaches and applications. Special emphasis will be placed on multi-unit considerations, software reliability, passive systems reliability, dynamic approaches and other advanced PSA applications. Discussions on national experiences and current challenges in advanced PSA approaches and applications are specifically encouraged.
Expected Outputs
Participants will be familiarized in detail with the requirements and recommendations included in IAEA safety standards in the area of PSA as well as with the ongoing IAEA activities related to advanced PSA approaches and applications. In addition, participants will have a better understanding of experiences and current challenges related to advanced PSA practices.
Target Audience
The workshop is specifically designed for advanced PSA analysts. Participation is solicited from nuclear safety professionals from nuclear power plant design and operating organizations, regulatory bodies and technical support organizations as well as consultants who are engaged in activities related to PSA development and applications for nuclear installations. To ensure maximum effectiveness in the exchange of information, participants should be persons actively involved in the subject areas of the meeting.
Current deadline for nominations is 30 April 2019, however given the fact that time is short and that there is a holiday season, we understand that it could be difficult to meet the deadline. Therefore, the nominations will be considered with some tolerance to deadline misses.
In this regard it would be useful for us to know in advance that your nomination is planned, so we will be aware that the nomination is in process and is going to arrive soon. This will help with planning and organisation of the event. Meanwhile it is important to highlight again that the participants of the workshop should be nominated through the official channels (as it is described in my previous message).
