... Nuclear Probability Risk assessment Volcanoes Because of the importance of consequences of earthquakes, a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) methodology against earthquake has been developed as a priority in many countries. To guide the seismic PRA, the Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ...

... are characterized. Some of the model predictions on the effectiveness of communication are verified with the observations in other's survey studies. The proposed model could potentially be used to help devise risk communication strategies and policies. Its use is demonstrated in a case study of Fukushima nuclear...
