Renewing Concerns of Technical Complexity in Accidents Research: An Argument to Retain Perrow's “First Thesis”

open access: yesJournal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT It has been 40 years since Charles Perrow published the landmark work Normal Accidents ([1984]1999), built largely on an analysis of the Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear power plant accident. While still a highly influential framework in the study of complex systems, the status of the argument remains in flux.
