Abstract
This paper describes the methodology implemented by the Institute for Nucle ar Safety and Protection (IPSN) to carry out the Fire Probabilistic Safety Assessment (Fire PSA) for French 900 MWe pressurised water reactors The ini tial results obtained are presented. Additional research and development ac tivities are indicated which IPSN carried out or decided to perform in orde r to reduce the amount of uncertainty associated with the data or to confir m hypotheses that can impact significantly the study results.
