To date, top-down efforts to evolve and structure privacy engineering knowledge have tended to reflect common systems engineering/development life cycle activities. A different approach suggests a particular need for technical analytical methods. To help address this need, this paper proposes to adapt for privacy engineering an existing technique, System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA), developed...
This paper describes how limited liability leads to risk-loving behaviour of nuclear power companies and on average too unsafe nuclear power plants. By reviewing current regulatory regimes, we show that this issue is not sufficiently taken care of by today's regulation. Therefore, we evaluate five regulatory instruments: (1) safety regulation, (2) minimum equity requirements, (3) mandatory insurance,...
Refining units are easy to be flammable and explosive. There will be great security risk in applying advanced process control (APC) system online in refining units. The method of HSE management, which emphasizes hazard analysis and risk control, will greatly decrease the possibility of the risk of the APC project. Experiences in previous APC projects and HSE management method are summarized in this...
There are several equipment failure databases originating in the nuclear power plant that are successfully used in quantitative risk analysis applications Le, probabilistic safety assessment (PSA). Regulatory bodies (like AERB, India) now accept the importance and use of databases for safety and reliability studies in the nuclear industry as industry practice. Databases containing human error data...
It is the core goal to establish reasonable system architecture during the summary design phase of dam safety monitoring system (DSMS) development. At first, measure point comprehensive information model (MPCIM) is built as the key object to DSMS. Then its attributes and operations are analyzed to form inherent class hierarchies and to complete database design. At last, subsystems are divided to establish...
