1. A computer readable medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions for execution by one or more processors, the instructions when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

  • automatically inserting common cause basic events into multiple fault tree structures in a risk model stored in a computer memory; and

    replacing regular basic events within the multiple structures with logic gates including two or more common cause basic events associated with the common cause failure group, the logic gates being based upon a single definition of a common cause failure group.
