Fire events have been assessed in a few of these studies and these assessments e demonstratedothe need for the development of a methodology and a data base to red 0ce the je ' uncertainties in such assessments.
Similar submittals are expected to be made' by other unsees.
Attached are proposals we reviewed from BNL and SNL.
