EPRI's Risk and Safety Management Program provides on-going research in methods and tools for conducting probabilistic risk assessments (PRAs). Working with experts around the globe, methods are improved by evaluating data and industry experience, developing applied research in numerical and logic modeling techniques, and developing new ways to apply PRAs in a risk-informed framework.

Basic information on PRAs as applied throughout the industry is available in the links below.

The PRA Applications Wiki is currently only available to EPRI members or members of the EPRI Risk and Safety Management (RSM) program.
