What is another word for normal accident theory?
Pronunciation: [nˈɔːmə͡l ˈaksɪdənt θˈi͡əɹi] (IPA) 
Normal Accident Theory (NAT) is a concept that explains how complex and tightly coupled systems, such as nuclear power plants, chemical plants, and transportation systems, are susceptible to accidents due to their inherent complexity. The theory suggests that accidents are not the result of isolated failures but instead, they occur due to a combination of interacting factors. Synonyms for the NAT include Complexity Theory, High Reliability Theory, and Resilience Engineering. Complexity Theory suggests that unexpected events are normal and unpredictable. High Reliability Theory emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring and feedback in complex systems. Resilience Engineering focuses on the ability of a system to adapt and recover from unexpected events.
