- Risk
- Engineering and safety: Risk = probability of failure × severity of consequence is the basis of reliability engineering, safety-case reasoning, and probabilistic risk assessment, formalized in the reactor-safety methodology of the Rasmussen (1975) WASH-1400 study that pioneered fault-tree and event-tree quantification of low-probability high-severity failures.
This sourceU.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Pioneered fault-tree/event-tree probabilistic risk assessment, operationalizing risk as likelihood × severity for low-probability high-consequence failures — the engineering decomposition that transfers to cybersecurity, public health, and project planning.
