Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) techniques are a key tool used in safety assessments. The IAEA has undertaken a coordinated research project on the application of PSA techniques to radiation sources in use at medical and industrial facilities. Thisreport presents the studies' results, including the safety insights and recommendations obtained, the benefits and limitations of PSA techniques, and guidance for performing PSA studies for radiation source applications. In addition, an overview of the techniques and approaches used in each study and the practice specific results are presented. The risk insights obtained constitute potential safety issues to be considered by practitioners, facility staff and management, equipment designers, and regulators in their safety management and risk evaluation activities.--Publisher's description.
