This course introduces the fundamentals of reliability and risk analysis, from basic probability concepts to advanced computational techniques, for a variety of industrial application fields. The overall aim is to provide students with a package of methods for systematic and comprehensive system analyses to inform reliability, safety, and resilience.

Knowledge about safety concepts and requirements of nuclear power plants and their implementation in deterministic safety concepts and safety systems. Knowledge about behavior under accident conditions and about the methods of probabilistic risk analysis and how to handle results. Introduction into key elements of the enhanced safety of nuclear systems for the future.
