The consequences of severe accidents at nuclear power plants can be limited by various protective actions, including emergency responses and long-term measures, to reduce exposures of affected populations. Each of these protective actions involve costs to society. The costs of the long-term...

Graphical presentations of human actions in incident and accident sequences have been used for many years. However, for the most part, human decision making has been underrepresented in these trees. This paper presents a method of incorporating the human decision process into graphical...

This paper discusses uncertainty in the output calculation of a model due to uncertainty in inputs values. Uncertainty in input values, characterized by suitable probability distributions, propagates through the model to a probability distribution of an output. Our objective in studying...
