These three volumes comprise the papers presented at the ESREL '97 International Conference on Safety and Reliability held in Lisbon, Portugal, 17-20 June 1997. The purpose of the annual ESREL conferences is to provide a forum for the presentation of technical and scientific papers covering both methods and applications of safety and reliability to a wide range of industrial sectors and technical disciplines and, in so doing, to enhance cross-fertilization between them. A broad view is taken of safety and reliability which includes probabilistically-based methods, or, more generally, methods that deal with the quantification of the uncertainty in the knowledge of the real world and with decision-making under this uncertainty. The areas covered include: design and product liability; availability, reliability and maintainability; assessment and management of risks to technical systems; health and the environment; and mathematical methods of reliability and statistical analysis of data. The organization of the book closely follows the sessions of the conference with each of the three volumes containing papers from two parallel sessions, comprising a total of 270 papers by authors from 35 countries.

Probabilistic Safety Assessment methodology has evolved over a period of time and is increasingly being used in support of design reviews, operational decisions and regulatory reviews, not only for nuclear power plants but many other engineering systems like launch systems, aircraft systems, process plants etc. However, Probabilistic Safety Assessment just provides an input along with other conventional deterministic methods in support of decision. This approach wherein PSA input along with the conventional defence-in-depth principles are utilized for taking decisions is called risk-informed approach. There are situations when the decisions could be taken exclusively based on PSA results. This is possible when the uncertainly in input data and models are relatively low that could be absorbed for the end applications. This process of decision-making is called risk-based decisions. In 126 article this book on Reliability, Safety and Hazard covers the topics, such as system modeling, uncertainty assessment, simulations, which are not only relevant but brings out the excellence that has been achieved towards application of risk-informed approach. There are many case studies presented in this book which help bridge the gap between research and development work performed in the area of reliability and safety engineering to the real-time applications. The application of these topics includes Nuclear Power Plants, Research Reactors, Heavy Water Plants, Petroleum & Process Industries, Electronics and Telecommunication Systems etc.

Accidents at process plants such as Windscale, Piper Alpha and Chernobyl have created worldwide concern over the risks involved in operating hazardous plant. Thorough procedures for the assessment and reliability testing of safety systems are now in great demand. Reliability and Risk Assessment provides a full theoretical background to the techniques used in this field of engineering and discusses how these methods are applied in practice. The authors show how these methods can be used to improve not only the safety records, but also the efficiency, productivity and profitability, of processing plants. Reliability and Risk Assessment is intended primarily as a reference for professional engineers, but will also prove invaluable for postgraduate students involved in reliability and risk assessment research.
