Abstract :
Accidents are characterized by four broad categories of contribution of causes: man, machine; media; and management. Strong management can minimize the contributions of man, machine and media to the risk arising from operation of hazardous facilities. Management can have a positive influence through the establishment of a proper safety culture. Nuclear safety culture is reviewed with specific emphasis on a US nuclear utility. The issue of safety assurance via an integrated risk management program is addressed.<>
