abstract="This paper describes the reliability techniques used to estimate the risk of fission product release from accidents caused by faults in the rod control system of a pressurized water reactor.These techniques include: a three-level reliability assessment using a functional event tree and two levels of fault tree to assess functional and system's reliability, an operator response model using event trees and a method of using the structure function of a reliability model to investigate possible common mode failure interactions.<p />",
