Σύνοψη	Hybrid Event Tree Analysis (Hybrid ETA) extends classical Event Tree Analysis by integrating complementary methods — such as Bayesian networks, fuzzy set theory, or Monte Carlo simulation — to overcome ETA's limitations in handling uncertainty, dependency between events, and sparse data. It is applied in safety-critical industries to model accident sequences and quantify outcome probabilities with greater fidelity than standalone ETA.	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.
