NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2015-0132]
Fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment Courses
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of public workshop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Office of
Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES), in cooperation with the Electric
Power Research Institute (EPRI), will hold joint courses on fire
probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). Since 2002, RES and EPRI, under a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Cooperative Nuclear Safety
Research, have been developing state-of-the-art methods for conduct of
fire PRA. In September 2005, this work produced the ``EPRI/NRC-RES Fire
PRA Methodology for Nuclear Power Facilities,'' NUREG/CR-6850 (EPRI
1011989).
DATES: Five modules will be held between July 20, 2015, and September
28, 2015. See Section II, Public Workshop, of this document for more
information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The courses cover the state-of-the-art methodology presented in
NUREG/CR-6850 (EPRI 1011989). Training will also include discussions
relating the fire PRA portion of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard to the
methodology of NUREG/CR-6850 (EPRI 1011989).
Five modules cover the major technical areas of the fire PRA
methodology. This year each module will be offered only one time at
either the NRC or EPRI offices. Participants may attend as many modules
as they wish during the year.
II. Public Workshop
Module I PRA will be held September 28-October 2, 2015, at the EPRI
Office, 1300 W. W.T. Harris Boulevard, Building 3-741 A&D, Charlotte,
North Carolina 28262. Module II Electrical Analysis will be held August
24-28, 2015, at the NRC, Three White Flint North, 11601 Landsdown
Street, North Bethesda, Maryland 20852. Module III Fire Analysis will
be held July 20-24, 2015, at the NRC in North Bethesda, Maryland.
Module IV HRA will be held September 28-October 2, 2015, at the EPRI
office in Charlotte, North Carolina. Module V Advanced Fire Modeling
will be held August 17-21, 2015, at the NRC in North Bethesda,
Maryland.
