What is Satisfying Safety Goals by Probabilistic Risk Assessment (Springer Series in Reliability Engineering) about?

Safety is one of the most important issues today. Recent international standards such as ISO and IEC have consistently advocated goal-based procedures of designing systems for better safety. The procedure assumes safety goals are explicitly established by international organizations, individual nations, particular industries or private companies. __Satisfying Safety Goals by Modern Reliability Engineering__ is a methodological approach to the goal-based safety design procedure that will soon be an international requirement. __Satisfying Safety Goals by Modern Reliability Engineering__ primarily focuses on the quantitative aspects of international standards. The methodologies presented are illustrated through the use of case studies. The book also: * presents accident statistics and safety goals; * describes abnormal event enumeration for the target system; * develops risk reduction mechanisms; * discusses probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) models typified by event trees coupled with fault trees; * presents conventional materials for basic event quantification; * describes how to calculate safety criteria from the PRA models, given basic event data; * evaluates uncertainties of poi
