 mni Hong Kong Network\n&nbsp\;\nWhile safety cannot be directly measured\,
  the risks associated with a complex engineering system can be assessed in
 stead to register the safety performance of the system.&nbsp\; Risk has be
 en defined in various ways in different industries\, and is often misunder
 stood.&nbsp\; For a complex engineering system analysis\, probabilistic ri
 sk analysis is used to answer the following questions:\n\n&bull\;&nbsp\; &
 nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; What can go
  wrong?\n&bull\;&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &n
 bsp\; &nbsp\; How likely is it that this will happen?\n&bull\;&nbsp\; &nbs
 p\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; If it happens\
 , what are the consequences?\n&bull\;&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp
 \; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; What are the uncertainties?\n\nThe Spea
 ker will discuss the application of risk analysis in system safety assessm
 ents using an application in nuclear weapon system safety assessment (WSSA
 ) as an example. Instead of focusing on a fixed location-based engineering
  system such as a power plant\, a risk model can be developed to address t
 he stockpile-to-target sequence (life cycle) of the weapons.&nbsp\; The ba
 sic physics and types of nuclear weapons will be addressed for an understa
 nding of the weapon life cycle.&nbsp\; All materials are taken from the pu
 blic domain.\n&nbsp\;\nSpeaker's Bio\nDr. Vincent Ho is a career risk mana
 gement and safety professional with over 35 years of experience in transpo
 rtation\, nuclear\, and Defense industries specializing in quantitative ri
 sk assessment\, fire risk analysis\, system safety and assurance\, risk-ba
 sed decision analysis\, as well as security analysis.&nbsp\; Dr. Ho active
 ly promotes the applications of risk management in enhancing safety\; he i
 s the Founding Chairman of the Hong Kong Association of Risk Management an
 d Safety\, and a former Chair of HKIE-SSC\, HKIE-MMNC\, and Special Projec
 ts Subcommittee of IMechE.&nbsp\; &nbsp\;Dr. Ho received his BS\, MS\, PhD
 \, and MBA from the University of California\, Los Angeles. He is an Adjun
 ct Professor at the City University of Hong Kong\, and also teaches at the
  Hong Kong University of Science and Technology on risk management related
  subjects.\n\nFee: free\n\nContact Details:
