Zusammenfassung	Robust Fault Tree Analysis (Robust FTA) extends classical fault tree analysis by explicitly representing and propagating uncertainty in component failure probabilities. Rather than assigning single point estimates to basic events, it uses probability distributions, interval bounds, or imprecise probabilities, then propagates these through the logical tree structure to obtain bounds or distributions on the top-event failure probability. This makes risk conclusions defensible under incomplete or variable data.	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.
