Reliability, Safety and Hazard Assessment for Risk-Based Technologies, 1st ed. 2020 Proceedings of ICRESH 2019 Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering Series

This volume presents selected papers from the International Conference on Reliability, Safety, and Hazard. It presents the latest developments in reliability engineering and probabilistic safety assessment, and brings together contributions from a diverse international community and covers all aspects of safety, reliability, and hazard assessment across a host of interdisciplinary applications. This book will be of interest to researchers in both academia and the industry. 

Prof. Prabhakar V. Varde is an expert in the field of application of reliability and probabilistic risk assessment to nuclear plants and is currently working as Head of the Research Reactor Services Division and Senior Professor at Homi Bhabha National Institute, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, India, where he also serves in advisory and administrative capacities in Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), India, and the Homi Bhabha National Institute, India. He is the Founder and President of the Society for Reliability and Safety (SRESA) and is one of the chief editors for its international journal—Life Cycle Reliability and Safety Engineering. He completed his B.E. (Mech) from Government Engineering College, Rewa, in 1983 and joined BARC, Mumbai, in 1984, where he worked as a Shift Engineer in the Reactor Operations Division until 1995. In 1996, he received his Ph.D. in Reliability Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Mumbai, following which he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, South Korea, and a Visiting Professor at the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) at the University of Maryland, USA. Professor Varde is also a consultant/specialist/Indian expert for many international organizations, including OECD/NEA (WGRISK), Paris; International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna; University of Maryland, USA; Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, South Korea. Based on his R & D work, he has published over 200 publications in journals and conferences, including 11 conference proceedings books.
