Biostatistical aspects of risk-benefit: the use of competing risks analysis
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7098147
The objectives of this project can be defined to include the following: to make significant strides in the provision of improved bases or criteria for decision-making involving risk of nuclear power plants to the public health and safety (where a risk involves a combination of a hazard and the probability of that hazard); to make significant strides in the structuring and development of improved, and possibly alternative, general methodologies for assessing risk and risk-benefit for technological systems; to develop improvements in the techniques for the quantitative assessment of risk and benefit; and to apply methods of risk and risk-benefit assessment to specific applications in nuclear power (and possibly other technological systems) in order to test methodologies, to uncover needed improvements and gaps in technique, and to provide a partial, selective, independent assessment of the levels of risk arising from nuclear power. The first year's effort has, to a considerable extent, involved reviews of some of the several fields of interest to the overall study. Beyond this, the work has largely been exploratory in nature and been concentrated in specific parts of the overall problem.
