สรุป	Risk-based reliability analysis (RBRA) is an engineering methodology that combines classical reliability analysis — quantifying failure rates, component lifetimes, and system dependability — with risk assessment frameworks that weigh the severity and consequences of each failure mode. By ranking failures according to both their likelihood and their impact, RBRA guides engineers in allocating inspection, maintenance, and redesign resources where they matter most, rather than treating all potential failures as equally important.	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.
