Analysis of the Columbia accident under nuclear industry safety criteria
by Everton Carvalho
International Journal of Nuclear Governance, Economy and Ecology (IJNGEE), Vol. 1, No. 4, 2007

Abstract: There are similarities between the aerospace and nuclear industries regarding safety. In both cases we are dealing with sophisticated technology, equipment, processes and strong interface with human behaviours. This situation is well understood in both industries. However, there is a range of uncontrolled accident risk as a consequence of poor management and lack of appropriate measures to prevent events that can result in accidents, such as the tragic accident in Columbia.
