Event condition

After defining fundamental terms used in probability and introducing set notation for events, we consider probability theorems facilitating tlie calculation of the probabilities of complex events. Conditional probability and tlie concept of independence lead to Bayes theorem and tlie means it provides for revision of probabilities on tlie basis of additional evidence. Random variables, llicir probability distributions, and expected values provide tlie means... 

The team identifies negative events, conditions, and actions that made major contributions to the incident. Tools such as Barner Analysis or Change Analysis may be used. 

Find the facts in the main sequence on the Causal Factor Chart that describe a component failure or a human error. Ensure the fact is not describing a management system failure (i.e., ensure the fact is not a root cause, near root cause, or root cause category). The identified negative events/conditions are candidate causal factors. Any candidate causal factor that is not dependent on another candidate causal factor is a valid causal factor.

The estimates in Item 1 are then computed along with any of Items 2, 3. and 4 that the user requests. Thus, NPHIV(JMOD).GT.O is used in the call of GREGPLUS to request auxiliary function computations for model JMOD KVAR(0).NE.0 to request calculations of goodness of fit and posterior probability share for each model considered and JNEXT, NMOD. and IDSIGN control selection of the next event condition. These calculations are described below, and their statistical foundations are presented in Chapters 6 and 7. 

This example uses a subroutine MODEL that computes only the values fu e) of the expectation function in Eq. (C.6-1). Input values DEL(i)=-lD-2 are used, with IDIF=1 so that GREGPLUS uses forward-difference approximations of the derivatives dfu 0)/d0j. To make these approximations accurate, the elements DEL(I) are refined by GREGPLUS in each iteration, using Eq, (6.B-7). Abbreviated output is requested by using LISTS = 1. Finally, an additional event condition is selected from five candidates, to minimize the volume of the three-parameter HPD region. Details of the implementation of this example in Athena Visual Studio can be found by running the software and selecting Book Examples under the Help menu item.

For the Wiener process, we know that W(f) — W(5 ) is normally distributed with mean zero and variance f - this does not depend on whether there is additional information available regarding its value prior to min(f, s), that is to say, the Wiener process is a Markov process. More generally, when we say that a stochastic process is Markovian, we mean that the probability of a future event conditioned on the current state of the process and the past history of the process is the same as the probability conditioned on the current state of the process. Let A x), B(x) and Q(x) be three events dependent on state variable x, and let t+ > to > t- be three times, then, for a Markov process X(f) we have (using the notation for conditional probability) ...

If an event condition rather than the time instant of an event is known, the event is commonly denoted as a state event. The event condition is specified by a function of continuous variables and a state event occurs when the function crosses zero. If the time instant of a discrete event is known in advance, the event is called a time event. In that case, the event can be scheduled to happen by entering its time and its type into a calendar of forthcoming events. 

The Site Emergency Flan (Ref 6-S9) and the MRP 4.08, "Events, Conditions, and Concerns Determination," of WSRC Procedure Manual IB (Ref 6-54), satisfy the requirements contained in the DOE 5500 Series Orders. K-, L-, and P-Reactors have consolidated thw emergency response mto one organizatioti operating out of the K-Reactor Central Control Room. Normal shifi staffing consists of four shifts with a supervisor, a shift technical coordinator, shift clerk, and operators to perform building surveillances in the reactors. RC HP is staffed with an inspector stationed at each reactor (fC, L, and P) and a supervisor which covers the reactors collectively. A minimum of one qualified supervisor, qualified technical coordinator, or qualified operator shall be stationed within the K-Reactor CCR at all times. 

The more frequently we see events, conditions, and limitations, the more we think of them as normal and simply accept them as a fact of life. Such is human nature. For most Americans, encountering the homeless on any city block in any metropolitan area is unremarkable. Few among us would even recall such an encounter an hour later even if an expansive mood had prompted a modest donation. Sadly, this condition has become a common occurrence in our lives and not particularly notable. And while many of us may have become numb to this condition, it is still a tragedy of great proportions that must be addressed. 

Think of the Swiss Cheese approach, what events, conditions, etc., could have occurred that would have prevented the accident or mitigated its consequences.
