Abstract
Probabilistic risk analysis (PRA) is an essential part of
safety management in safety-critical industries such as
process industry, power production and transportation.
PRA provides essential information for identifying weak-
nesses in technological systems and optimizing the
design, operation and maintenance of systems. When used
in decision making, PRA must be carried out in a
qualified manner and supported by appropriate computer
codes. FinPSA is a software tool to support the main
activities related to PRA through easy model creation,
efficient and versatile analysis, good traceability,
flexible reporting, and information exchange
capabilities.
