The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission was created as an expert, technical agency to protect public health, safety, and security, and regulate the civilian use of nuclear materials, including enabling the deployment of nuclear power for the benefit of society. Among other responsibilities, the agency issues licenses, conducts inspections, initiates and enforces regulations, and plans for incident response. The global gold standard for nuclear regulation, the NRC is collaborating with interagency partners to implement reforms outlined in new Executive Orders and the ADVANCE Act to streamline agency activities and enhance efficiency.
No: 25-068 December 19, 2025 CONTACT: Ivonne Couret, 301-415-8200 NRC Schedules Public Workshop on Probabilistic Risk Assessment Staff from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a public workshop on January 7 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern to discuss efforts to improve realism in probabilistic risk assessment. PRA is a key tool the NRC uses to assess plant safety by estimating the likelihood and consequences of potential accidents. This workshop is a continuation of the workshop originally scheduled for earlier in the year.
The workshop will focus on enhancing risk-informed decision-making for nuclear power plants by making PRA models more realistic and reflective of reactor design, operations and real-world behavior. It will highlight ongoing efforts to improve realism and will discuss topics such as operating experience, external hazards and human reliability analysis.
Stakeholders are required to register and encouraged to participate in the discussions, which will provide valuable input into the NRCs collaborative efforts to improve reactor safety through more accurate risk modeling.
