NPRE 598 class schedule data for fall 2014
	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	63331	Lecture-Discussion	PRA	1:30PM -3:20PM	TR	100H Talbot Laboratory	Mohaghegh Ahmadabadi, Z	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/14-12/10/14 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Probabilistic Risk Analysis Section Info: This course offers a comprehensive and in-depth review of advanced methods for Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA). Topics include: fundamental theories of risk modeling, risk scenario development, model uncertainty, parameter uncertainty, uncertainty propagation (e.g. Method of Moment, Monte Carlo), Bayesian updating, data analysis, hardware reliability, human error modeling, risk importance ranking, precursor analysis, expert elicitation and aggregation, and next generation PRA methods and tools. Risk analysis software will be used for homework and class projects. While the examples will primarily focus on the nuclear power domain, the course will also cover current advancements in risk analysis of other complex systems (e.g. space, aviation, oil and gas). Recommended Prerequisite: STATE 400 or equivalent probability/statistics course. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Graduate class standing.
