Existing programs for the analysis of operating events at the Department of Energy (DOE) facilities do not determine risk measures for the events. An approach for the risk based analysis of operating events has been developed, and applied to two events. The approach utilizes the data now being collected in existing data programs and determines risk measures for the events which are not currently determined. Such risk measures allow risk appropriate responses to be made to events, and provide a means for comparing the safety significance of dissimilar events at different facilities.
