The most suitable tool for a numerical evaluation of nuclear reactor safety seems to be now calculating accident probabilities and their consequences. Before quantifying accident probabilities, probabilistic evaluations of the reliability of the systems related to reactor safety are developed: event and fault trees and logical diagrams. The principal results from WASH 1400 report (Rasmussen report) illustrate the use of reliability and probabilistic methods in safety analysis for the evaluation of nuclear accident risks against other risks.
