The PRA Applications Wiki provides an introduction to the wide applications of PRA in the nuclear industry. This serves the needs of the global PRA community, providing a clear description, purpose, and rationale for each application. Both voluntary and regulatory PRA applications are described and this overview distinguishes those that require license-basis changes. References to more technical information provide a resource to expand your knowledge further.

The Fire PRA Wiki summarizes a structured framework for the conduct of a Fire PRA analysis. This supports your fire risk analysis team by providing an introduction to EPRI 1011989 / NUREG/CR-6850, updated with the latest information. The methodology addresses a Fire PRA that focuses on a Level 1 PRA (Core Damage Frequency) with consideration of Large Early Release Frequency. Additional references to specific recommended practices are provided, which address each key aspect of the analysis.
PRA Newly Developed Methods Wiki
Access: Public
With the issuance of Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 3 the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) endorsed the concept of a “Newly Developed Method (NDM)” for use in Probabilistic Risk Assessments (PRAs). This Wiki shares information from previous evaluations within the industry specifically that have been provided to EPRI for inclusion in the Wiki. These evaluations of interest are those related to whether a PRA method is considered an NDM, and whether an NDM Peer review has been conducted to determine the technical adequacy of the method for inclusion in risk applications as necessary.

EPRI 3D applications demonstrate the disassembly, reassembly, inspection and operation of specific power plant components. The applications consist of single mode or dual mode meaning they can be executed as a desktop application on a desktop/laptop computer and/or as a virtual reality (VR) application using a VR head-mounted display (HMD), such as the HTC VIVE.

The Valve wiki provides basic entry level information related to common valve and actuators found in the nuclear industry. Descriptions are provided within as well as basic design and maintenance related information. EPRI technical reports are referenced within and include live links for quick access downloads.

Electronic work packages (eWPs) have become a primary innovation vehicle for integrating work activities with basic plant workflow process and information systems currently used in the work management process. The EPRI NMAC recognizes the potential benefits that eWPs can provide and has promoted industry collaboration to drive this initiative since 2013. This Wiki site was created to assist utilities with technical content needed to drive eWP success at the site.
PE/Programs
EPRI Procurement Information Center (EPIC)
Access: Member Only
EPIC contains technical information related to nuclear procurement and supply chain, research focus areas within the Nuclear Plant Engineering Program at EPRI. It’s organized by major activities in the procurement process. The activity-specific pages provide brief descriptions of each activity as well as links to EPRI guidance and training that is available for performing the activity, industry surveys relating to the activity, and related presentations that have been given at past JUTG meetings.
