Abstract

The present invention relates to a frequency analysis module implementing apparatus and method of a quantitative risk assessment system. The apparatus includes an accident scenario generation unit for generating plural accident scenarios that define questions and formulas obtained from an expert for each accident to perform accident frequency and risk analysis; a module generation unit for generating plural modules individually corresponding to the accident scenarios; and a module driving unit for driving a module selected in correspondence with the accident from among the modules when the accident situation such as leaking of a hazardous material occurs. The module driven by the module driving unit performs accident frequency and risk analysis by calling an accident scenario corresponding to the module, providing a question defined by the accident scenario, and applying an answer input from a user in response to the question and a formula defined by the accident scenario.

Claims
