Use of decision tables in the systematic construction of fault trees
Description
A systematic methodology for the construction of fault trees is presented based on the use of decision tables. These tables are used to described each possible output state of a component as a complete set of combinations of states of inputs and internal operational or failed states. The methodology has been implemented by the development of a computer code, which, following several stages of editing, produces a fault tree in conventional format. The analysis of an actual reactor system using this methodology is presented which demonstrates the applicability and flexibility of the approach
