Could PSM have prevented the Chernobyl catastrophe?

Overview

Over thirty years ago, Unit 4 in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station suffered what is considered the worst incident in the story of nuclear energy. In this webinar we analyse the process safety practices at the station using current tools and methodology. Specifically, we want to determine if a proper PSM program could have provided some guidance on improving process safety at the station and, hence, helped prevent the incident.
