Abstract: Abstract This chapter first introduces dynamic Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA)Probabilistic safety assessment emphasizingits need and gives a brief overview of the dynamic methods in the literature. Dynamic event tree method, one of main dynamic PSA approaches, is primarily focused in the chapter. The elements involved in dynamic event tree and a comparison among its implementations are presented. Application to a simple depleting tank problem explores the quantitative aspects of the method. Finally, to quantify risk in the light of uncertainties and dynamics, the practical issues and possible solutions are briefly discussed.
