Resum	Sensitivity analysis integrated with fault tree analysis (FTA-SA) is a quantitative reliability engineering method that first models how system failure can occur through a hierarchical Boolean logic tree, then systematically varies the probability of each basic event to determine which components drive overall system failure risk most strongly. Widely used in nuclear, aerospace, chemical, and safety-critical system design, it prioritises mitigation effort and reveals which uncertainty in input data matters most.	Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a top-down, deductive reliability method that begins with an undesired top-level failure event and systematically traces backward through chains of contributing causes using Boolean logic gates (AND, OR). First formalized by Watson at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1961 and later standardized by Vesely, Goldberg, Roberts, and Haasl in the landmark 1981 NRC Fault Tree Handbook, FTA has become a cornerstone of quantitative risk assessment in nuclear, aerospace, and industrial safety engineering.
