Engineering thinking in emergency situations: A new nuclear safety concept

The lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi accident have focused on preventive measures designed to protect nuclear reactors, and crisis management plans. Although there is still no end in sight to the accident that occurred on March 11, 2011, how engineers have handled the aftermath offers new insight into the capacity of organizations to adapt in situations that far exceed the scope of sa...

Definitions for Safety Engineering

Some attention has been paid to defining all the terms used, even some commonplace terms which either have or need to be assigned a technical meaning, to eliminate ambiguity. The definition of a term may usually be found in proximity to its first use, after that use (that is, the presentation style is “lazy” rather than “greedy”). Commonplace words used with commonplace meanings are left undefi...
