On Oct. 24, 2015, Prof. Enrico ZIO from Politecnico di Milano, director of the Chair in Complex Systems and the Energetic Challenge of the European Foundation for New Energy of Electricite’ de France (EDF) at Ecole Centrale Paris and Supelec, visited the Institute of Nuclear Energy Safety Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and gave an interesting lecture on the theme of “Advanced topics in Reliability and Safety Research on Nuclear Systems”.

Nuclear safety is the lifeline of the development of nuclear energy, and the research on system reliability and Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) is one of the most important work. Prof. Enrico ZIO introduced some advanced methods in the fields of Reliability & Availability, Maintenance & PHM and Risk & Vulnerability and carried out an in-depth interactive communication with the young researchers.
