NUREG-0492, FAULT TREE HANDBOOK (JAN 1981)

NUREG-0492, FAULT TREE HANDBOOK (JAN 1981)., This handbook has been developed not only to serve as text for the System Safety and Reliability Course, but also to make available to others a set of otherwise undocumented material on fault tree construction and evaluation. The publication of this handbook is in accordance with the recommendations of the Risk Assessment Review Group (NUREG/CR-0400) in which it was stated that the fault/event tree methodology both can and should be used more widely by the NRC. It is hoped that this document will help codify and systematize the fault tree approach to systems analysis.
