- The path of specific accidents and the combination of events needed for an undesirable incident to occur (correct)
- The annual probabilities of different failure modes
- The consequences of an accident in the nuclear industry
Why was fault tree analysis developed for the nuclear industry?
Why was fault tree analysis developed for the nuclear industry?
- The consequences of an accident are very severe, so highly detailed analysis was required (correct)
- The process industries did not require detailed analysis
- The nuclear industry had more frequent accidents
- It was less costly to implement in the nuclear industry
