Abstract
The question of how risky it is to live near a nuclear reactor or an industrial complex is discussed. The concept of risk and risk assessment is introduced. The methods of estimating the two components of risk (frequency and consequences) are summarised and the application of risk assessment techniques to a nuclear reactor and an industrial complex is summarised. It is concluded that the former is much safer than the latter. However, the more important conclusion is that both the reactor and the industrial complex add only a small and arguably insignificant amount to the individual and societal risks which all of us run in any case
