This course serves as an introduction to managing risk in the decommissioning activities, by focussing on the usage of relevant tools for risk quantification. Students will be able to understand the significance of hazard identification and associate the failures with corresponding consequences. A brief overview of the influence of human factors on organisational behaviour would also be provided.
The following topics will be covered in the course:
1. Basic Concepts in Safety Engineering and Risk Management: Accident Sequences, Safety and risk measures and ALARP.
2. Risk based thinking for decommissioning planning.
3. Elementary concepts in Statistics and Probability: Statistical Inference, Data Description, and Introductory probability theory.
4. Introduction to and Elements of Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA): Frequency and Consequence analysis, Risk quantification and tools, and Interpretation of risk outcomes.
5. Safety case development for decommissioning and the associated significance in comparative assessment.
Introduction to human reliability and influence on organisational behaviour.
