This drives up the cost of a project. But we often find that, after discussing a client s goals for an analysis, the scope of the project can be altered and the costs brought down. Event tree analysis is one. Event trees are fairly easy to quantify and can be effective means for showing management how accidents develop. We would be happy to discuss which methods may be more applicable for a given problem.
Many packages are available.
We have developed software for use on our projects, but we don't necessarily use it for all projects. Depending on your needs, a package developed by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and available at no cost may be suitable. We'll be happy to discuss your options with you. Usually, a project begins when a customer contacts us with a specific need for more detailed risk information. If the customer accepts the proposal, we work with the customer to identify the best mix of QRA team members and define the schedule for the meetings.
