Encouragement by colleagues and a considerable increase in the use
of prob abilistic analyses since the publication of the German
edition in 1987 have motivated this English version. A mere
translation was inappropriate because a number of important studies
completed in recent years had to be included, among them the
assessment of the risks of five nuclear power plants in the United
States of America and the German Risk Study, Phase B. The
opportunity was taken to elaborate on some concepts which have
gained importance of late such as accident management. An update of
international safety goals was also made; however, this can only be
a momentary view of a field subjected to frequent change. Thanks
are due to the Springer-Verlag for the careful editing and
production of the book. Kaln, Garching Ulrich Hauptmanns March 1990
Wolfgang Werner Preface to the German Edition With the increasing
use of complex technologies there is a growing need to evaluate the
associated risks. The methodology of probabilistic safety and risk
analysis allows predictive valuation of risks. Nuclear engineering
has been in the forefront of the development and application of
this method. In the Safety Study on US Power Plants published in
1975 the risk of an entire technology was investigated
systematically and quantified for the first time. Meanwhile the
methods have continuously been improved and applied to a number of
nuclear power stations."
