Consequence probability

Integration of Results - consists of integration of the model with results from Steps 4, 5 and 6, to determine consequences, probabilities and range of uncertainties. Two lypes of lesulis were calculated in this study individual risk as a function of distance from the installation, and isorisk curves. Both are risk indices and are related to the probability of death from ammonia inhalation. 

By identify of the cells the antecedent probability of fact that the cell will be occupied by presented link equal to 1/Z, and when will be not occupied - then (1 - HZ). Consequently, probability CO (z) of mN differing links distribution per Z identical cells is determined by Bernoulli s distribution... 

Finally, a third type of argument is possible especially for the choices of disciplines that use and depend on costly experimental techniques (e.g., the 2-year bioassays of toxicology). The concern about false positive decisions implied by the requirement for small values of alpha regardless of the consequences probably reflects where toxicologists collectively strike a balance between the need for a broad front advance and scarcity of resources. 

Amatol is made up in various proportions of ammonium nitrate to trinitrotoluene, such as 50/50, 60/40, and 80/20. The granulated, dried, and sifted ammonium nitrate, warmed to about 90°, is added to melted trinitrotoluene at about 90°, and the warm mixture, if 50/50 or 60/40, is ladled into the shells which have been previously warmed somewhat in order that solidification may not be too rapid, or, if 80/20, is stemmed or extruded into the shells by means of a screw operating within a steel tube. Synthetic ammonium nitrate is preferred for the preparation of amatol. The pyridine which is generally present in gas liquor and tar liquor ammonia remains in the ammonium nitrate which is made from these liquors and causes frothing and the formation of bubbles in the warm amatol—with the consequent probability of cavitation in the charge. Thiocyanates which are often present in ammonia from the same sources likewise cause frothing, and phenols if present tend to promote exudation. 

The dinitroaniline herbicides are relatively insoluble in water (and consequently probably in the cytoplasm) so that a mechanisnrof resistance based upon hyperstability would probably allow for a rather complete resistance to these compounds. Other compounds, like colchicine, are much more water-soluble and, at the high concentrations of these compounds required to elicit effects in all plants... 

Accident Phenomenology and Accident Analysis Group. It will cover topics such as hazards, accident events, source terms, consequences, probability of occurrences, methodology, and computer codes. 

The model of consequences analysis involves three stages analysis of exposition of impact objects, estimation of payoffs set and the calculus of consequence probabilities P(h,m,n 0,ai). The analysis of exposition of impact objects corresponds to the definition of hazard zone of each section and accidental scenarios, to be considered in the apphcation. It is necessary to observe that the obtained results from this module can be tackled by specialized systems, which can take higher technical severity to the calculus and analysis process. 

Another special crystallization case is the crystallization immediately after polymerization. For example, poly(oxymethylene) molecules in an al -trans conformation are produced when formaldehyde crystals are polymerized. The same polymer crystallizes out of dilute solution in the form of a 9s helical macroconformation with tgtg sequences. Elementary filaments of native cellulose produced by biosynthesis contain extended chain cellulose molecules. Regenerated cellulose has a different unit cell and consequently probably occurs in a different macroconformation. 

Whatever the industry composition in the years ahead, however, it is expected that the consequence/probability approach to accident quantification will provide a unified method for balancing risks. Of course this requires as much information as can be made available regarding plant and equipment design and operational procedures. The more one extrapolates from known to inferred systems, the less certainty one has in the results.

Doses are determined for the early exposure effects resulting from the initial 24 hours following the core damage initiation. The dose evaluation provides the conditional probability distributions for the consequence measures, which includes the whole-body dose for this analysis. These consequence probability distributions are based on the assumption that the accident that produced... 

Hollnagel (1993) labeled errors as erroneous actions and defined an error as an action which fails to produce the expected result and which therefore leads to an unwanted consequence. Probably the most widely recognized definition of human error was offered by Reason (1990, p. 9), who formally defined human error as a generic term to encompass all those occasions in which a planned sequence of mental or physical activities fails to achieve its intended outcome, and when these failures cannot be attributed to the intervention of some chance agency. ... 

The IRIS design provides for multiple levels of defence for accident mitigation (in-depth-in-depth (DID)), resulting in extremely low core damage probabilities. In addition to the traditional DID levels (barriers, redundancy, diversity, etc.) IRIS introduces a very basic level of DID, i.e., elimination by design of accident initiators or reduction of their consequences/probability. This is implemented through the safety-by-design IRIS philosophy, which was briefly presented in the introduction. 

In rats it has been found that the giving of large quantities of lactose or dextrin in the diet can cause the intestinal flora so to change that it contains 90% or more of aciduric bacilli. These two carbohydrates are acted upon very slowly and consequently probably pass to the large intestine where they are acted upon by the aciduric bacilli— notably Lactobacillus acidophilus— with the formation of a large amount of lactic acid the presence of this acid is said to be unfavorable to the persistence of the proteolytic bacteria. 

Consequencelprobability matrix Consequence/probability matrices are also known as risk matrices. They present their output in a pictorial way in form of a matrix. Risk matrices are likewise used to rank different risks to determine which risks need further or more detailed analysis. They also create a common understanding for a level of risk (lEC/ISO 31010, 2009) and its communication. 

ABSTRACT Technological advancements in area of sensor-based online maintenance systems have made the possibility of repairing some failed safety support systems of Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) such as electrical supply, I C systems, ventilation systems. However, the possibility of repair during accident situation is yet to be included into PSA level-1. Therefore, this paper presents a scheme of PSA level-1 by implementing an integrated method of Repairable Event Tree (RET) and Repairable Fault Tree (RET) analysis. The Core Damage Frequency (CDF) is calculated from consequence probabilities of the RET. An initiating event of Decay Heat Removal (DHR) systems of ASTRID reactor is analyzed. The proportionate CDFs estimated with repair and without repair have been compared and found that the recoveries can reduce CDF. In sum, this paper attempts to deal with the possibility of repair of some safety systems in PSA and its impacts on CDF of the NPP. 

A risk graph represents a graphical output for risk estimation. It is based on a so-called decision tree in which every node represents a certain quantity, or risk parameter (e.g. consequence, probability of occurrence, the frequency of negative effect exposure, etc.), and the graph direction stands for a degree of severity (importance) of the given parameter. 

Once all basic event probabilities are determined for a consequence tree the risk value can be computed. The top consequence probability is obtained by the classical approach of combining the basic event probabilities according to the minimal cut set equation. However, for the mathematical combination of probabilities, dependent uncertainty analysis is used. This analysis is such that the data sources determine the coupling of uncertainties and hence the uncertainty in the risk value. In addition, a quantitative subjectivity value is calculated for the top-consequence probability estimate based on the data subjectivities of the contributing basic events. 

In the Cl analysis we assumed to be faced with a high degree of uncertainty and complexity, and, apart from risk identification, we expected results wrt. consequences, probability of occurrence, level of risk, and the possibility to avoid the hazard.
