Abstract
The probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) applications used in the WWER440 plants are described in this chapter (Application of PSA for Nuclear Power Plants, IAEA—TECDOC-1200, Vienna, Feb 2001, [1]). Firstly, the Living PSA (LPSA) is defined. Then, the use of PSA to support safety upgrading, operation and accident mitigation is described. Application of PSA for regulatory purposes is also discussed.
