Abstract
The major accidents in industry, and failures of critical infrastructure have triggered an absolute need for new and efficient approaches in risk assessment and safety management. Resilience engineering has attracted widespread interest as it presents a whole new approach to measuring and maintaining the safety of critical systems. In this paper, an integrated framework is proposed for resilience assessment of critical systems under various threat scenarios using Bayesian network. This new approach addresses all the factors associated with resilience principles together with the dynamic interactions of a system during threats. Quantitative resilience metrics are proposed to provide new insights on the importance of different factors within the resilience framework and optimise the mitigation and recovery phases. The approach is applied to assess the resilience of safety system of a nuclear reactor.
