3.2.2 Probabilistic Risk Assessment

For those facilities for which a Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) has been

performed, initial and continuing training programs should include the principal results of the

PRA. The training should address the following:

The importance of facility systems in preventing damage or severe accidents

The probabilistic basis for defining magnitudes and compositions of potential releases

of radionuclides (or other toxic materials) and consequences of potential releases in

terms of facility worker and offsite population health effects

Dominant types of potential operational accidents as defined in terms of frequency

and consequences

Locations of all significant amounts of radioactive and other hazardous materials, and

measures to prevent their release

The importance of maintaining operational limits and conditions, and the

consequences of violating those limits

Identification of potential hardware failures and human errors which constitute

dominant contributors to important accident sequences

The role PRA can play in evaluating proposed changes in operating procedures or

equipment configuration

The role of external events such as earthquakes, extreme winds, flooding,

transportation accidents, etc., in terms of their contribution to facility risk

The role PRA can play in optimizing operating limits, Technical Safety

Requirements, testing, and maintenance intervals.
