This chapter explores issues of uncertainty with respect to two types of concern when considering nuclear power safety and reliability. The first type of concern relates to a slowly growing issue during operations of the nuclear power plant. By analogy with medicine we refer to such a concern as 'chronic'. The second type of concern is more sudden, or 'acute'. It relates to uncertainty issues within a nuclear accident or lesser system failure.

摘要

This chapter explores issues of uncertainty with respect to two types of concern when considering nuclear power safety and reliability. The first type of concern relates to a slowly growing issue during operations of the nuclear power plant. By analogy with medicine we refer to such a concern as 'chronic'. The second type of concern is more sudden, or 'acute'. It relates to uncertainty issues within a nuclear accident or lesser system failure.
