Summary
The results of this study to assess potential uses of cost/benefit analysis are derived from application of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) techniques to two design perspectives. They are (1) the evolution of design, regulation, and plant risk as applied to a representative BWR design, and (2) the risk values associated with various systems or system groups for a baseline BWR design. The PRA techniques were used to develop various quantitative indices of plant risk; these values can then be used with design cost information to derive cost/benefit analysis results. Quantitative results and some of their implications for the utility of cost/benefit analysis within the context of nuclear power plant design and regulation are discussed.
