The occurrence of severe accidents in commercial nuclear power plants is forecast. A Random Escalation Model (REM) is proposed that uses accident data of both high and low levels of severity to forecast the most-severe ones, which are viewed as escalations of low-severity accidents. Information ...

Hazards of nuclear technology (accident risk, reactor safety, environmental exposures) and forecasts of the energy demand (world energy demand, world population growth, number of nuclear power plants, global effects of the increasing energy demand are discussed. (GE)

This paper presents a new dynamic environmental risk model, with intended use within a new, dynamical approach for risk based ship traffic prioritisation. The philosophy behind this newly developed approach is that shipping risk can be reduced by directing efforts towards ships and areas that have been identified as high priority (high ...
