 Identification of reference accident scenarios in SEVESO establishmentsC. Delvosalle, Fiévez, C., A. Pipart, J. Casal Fabrega, E. Planas, M. Christou and F. Mushtaq Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2005, vol. 90, issue 2, 238-246 Abstract: In the frame of the ESREL special session on ARAMIS project, this paper aims at presenting the work carried out in the first Work Package, devoted to the definition of accident scenarios. This topic is a key-point in risk assessment, and serves as basis for the whole risk quantification. A first part of the work aims at building a Methodology for the Identification of Major Accident Hazards (MIMAH), which is carried out with the development of generic fault and event trees based on a typology of equipment and substances. This work is coupled with an historical analysis of accidents. In a second part, influence of safety devices and policies will be considered, in order to build a Methodology for the Identification of Reference Accident Scenarios (MIRAS). This last one will take into account safety systems and lead to obtain more realistic scenarios.
