The purpose of the International Common Cause Data Exchange (ICDE) Project is to allow multiple countries to collaborate and exchange Common Cause Failure (CCF) data to enhance the quality of risk analyses that include CCF modelling. Because CCF events are typically rare events, most countries do not experience enough CCF events to perform meaningful analyses. Data combined from several countries, however, yields sufficient data for more rigorous analyses.
The qualitative insights gained from the analysis of CCF events are made available by reports that are distributed openly. It is not the aim of those reports to provide direct access to the CCF raw data recorded in the ICDE data bank. The confidentiality of the data is a prerequisite of operating the project. The ICDE database is accessible only to those members of the ICDE Project Working Group who have actually contributed data to the data bank.
