Abstract
This chapter overviews PRAs over three different levels. The PRA has been used most intensively in the nuclear field. The process industry is another intensive user of the PRA. Whenever there is a need for risk quantification, simpler versions of PRA are used in other fields. Risk quantification without the PRA is imperfect and in a very near future any industry with risks will use more and more complete versions of the PRA.
