Primes¶
- 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.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
