Risk-informed decision making of safety investments by using the disproportion factor

Risk-informed decision-making in the presence of epistemic uncertainty

Informed Spatial Decision Making Using Coordinated Views

According to a commonly accepted view, the process of decision making comprises three major phases: intelligence (situation analysis and problem recognition), design (finding possible variants of problem solution), and choice (evaluation of the options and selection of the most appropriate ones). It is widely recognised that exploratory data visualisation is very helpful during the first phase ...

Elements of Risk Informed Decision Making in Belgium

In Belgium, basically, a deterministic approach to nuclear safety is applied. However, plantspecific PSA studies are performed and updated in the framework of the Periodic Safety Reviews (PSR). This process has led to a number of modifications to safety equipment and operating practices. Occasionally, PSA staff of AVN is requested to provide risk information regarding plant modifications, plant...

The risks of informed decision-making.

in megakaryocyte development. There are several new clues: (1) A time course analysis indicates that expression of the von Wille-brand factor receptor and filamin A starts in immature megakaryocytes and increases just before proplatelet extension. (2) The association of GPIb to actin cytoskeleton occurs only in mature megakaryocytes and is filamin A– dependent, as in platelets. (3) GPIb␣ expres...

A Proposed Risk-informed Decision-making Framework for Nasa

The January 2004 Presidential Directive to NASA to adopt a goal-oriented space exploration program poses many challenges. These include sustained and affordable human and robotic space programs to explore the Solar System starting with a human return to the Moon and subsequent human exploration of Mars. Meeting the exploration technical and safety goals while meeting programmatic constraints re...
