ASME RA-S-1.3 – Standard for Radiological Accident Offsite Consequence Analysis (Level 3 PRA) to Support Nuclear Installation Applications

This Standard sets forth requirements for the consequence analysis portion of probabilistic risk assessments(PRAs) used to support risk-informed decisions for accidents involving the release of radioactive materialsinto the atmosphere. It is expected that the primary use of this Standard would be in support of nuclearpower plants, although it could support broader applications. In these cases, supplemental requirements maybe needed to ensure technical adequacy. This portion of a PRA is typically known as a Level 3 analysis.
