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).

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.
