Changes to Web Site Content

Starting from the 2016 Update, the schedule for performing component and system study updates is every other year, while the loss of offsite power and initiating event updates are still done each year. As such, the 2018 Update includes the studies for loss of offsite power, initiating event, component, and system studies using data through calendar year 2018. This update (i.e., the 2019 Update) includes only the studies for loss of offsite power and initiating event using data through calendary year 2019.

The parameters used in the SPAR models have been updated using data through calendar year 2015. The update results using data through calendar year 2020 will be pulished soon. This includes initiating event frequencies, component unreliability, component unavailability, common cause failure alpha factors, and loss of offsite power nonrecovery probabilities. The next update will use data through calendar year 2020 and the results will be published around the end of February 2022.
