Description
Protecting the public health and safety -- Mathematics for probabilistic safety -- Chemical and nuclear accident analysis methods -- Failure rates, incidents and human factors data -- External events -- Analyzing nuclear reactor safety systems -- Analyzing chemical process safety systems -- Nuclear accident consequence analysis -- Chemical process accident consequence analysis -- Assembling and interpreting the PSA -- Applications of PSA.
Probabilistic Safety Analysis (PSA) determines the probability and consequences of accidents, hence, the risk. This subject concerns policy makers, regulators, designers, educators and engineers working to achieve maximum safety with operational efficiency. Risk is analyzed using methods for achieving reliability in the space program. The first major application was to the nuclear power industry, followed by applications to the chemical industry. It has also been applied to space, aviation, defense, ground, and water transportation. This book is unique in its treatment of chemical and nuclear.
