| | Accident Precursors: Linking Risk Assessment with Risk Management (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Although precursors are preconditions to accidents, they sometimes occur without leading to an accident. |
 | | Because of the inherent value of using precursors to mitigate the risk of accidents, catastrophes, and other extreme events, a number of industries have developed analytical techniques and management approaches to detecting, modeling, and acting on precursor signals. |
 | | Every time a precursor event is observed during the operation of a nuclear power plant, the event is analyzed to reassess the measures being used to mitigate against future risk exposure. |
