Abstract
Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) has emerged as an increasingly popular analysis tool especially during the last decade. PRA is a systematic and comprehensive methodology to evaluate risks associated with every life-cycle aspect of a complex engineered technological entity (e.g., facility, spacecraft, or power plant) from concept definition, through design, construction, and operation, and up to removal from service [1].
