It is also assumed in this model that the annual failure rate for one plant is constant over time. This may not hold if either (1) failure rates increase because of wear and tear, or (2) failure rates decrease because of interim inspections and more stringent regulations. Probabilities of disaster would increase in the first case and decrease in the second case. 2, record 4, English, - failure%20rate

L'évaluation de ces différentes mesures de sûreté de fonctionnement fait appel au calcul des probabilités, les défaillances survenant de façon aléatoire. Sans rentrer dans le détail, on retiendra que c'est la loi exponentielle qui est la plus fréquemment utilisée en fiabilité, car elle se prête bien aux calculs; cela conduit à considérer que le taux de défaillance est une constante, hypothèse réaliste ou du moins acceptable, dans la plupart des cas. 2, record 4, French, - taux%20de%20d%C3%A9faillance
