This manual describes the use of the Set Equation Transformation System (SETS) for vital area analysis. Various techniques are presented for using SETS to solve vital area analysis fault trees. Depending on the input to SETS, the solution to the vital area analysis fault tree can be in terms of vital areas or primary events of the vital area analysis fault tree. The techniques presented are also suitable and efficient for other kinds of common cause analysis.
