Abstract
A plant consists of a variety of systems, structures, and components (SSCs) operated and maintained directly or indirectly by humans. Some SSCs and human activities (HAs) are more important than others from the point of view of risk. A risk-informed safety assurance utilizes risk information to 1) satisfy safety goals, 2) gain public trust, 3) increase safety assurance effectiveness, and 4) to remove unnecessary burden. The first step of the risk-informed safety assurance is the categorization of SSCs and HAs. The second step is the realization of requirements demanded for each category (Chapter 3)
