Human reliability analysis application guide
Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., (MMES) is engaged in a phased program to update the MMES safety documentation for the existing DOE facilities it manages. This guidance for Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) is intended for use in probabilistic safety analysis of DOE facilities. It is intended to supplement the Facility Safety Evaluation Application Guide, CSET-10, (July 1991), and subsequent revisions. The primary intended use of the guidance is to support accident analysis in Phase II of the Energy Systems Safety Analysis Report Update Program (SARUP). However, the guidance can be used for any safety analysis that needs human reliability analysis. The human reliability analysis methods covered by how-to'' sections of the guide are direct application of or adaptations of methods developed for Probabilistic Risk Assessments (PRA) of nuclear power plants. The adaptations of these methods were designed to make the methods more suitable to DOE non-reactor applications. The methods have been adapted for use by the personnel who will perform the accident analysis task. This has been done by furnishing guidance intended for accident analysts who are experienced in human reliability analysis and by providing various methods of several levels of complexity and sophistication that lend themselves to a graded approach. The methods also lend themselves to progressive, iterative refinement so that the more burdensome versions of the methods may be reserved for use only when the importance to safety of the human reliability issues clearly warrants the time and effort. The recommended techniques build upon logic models of the human interactions with the facility that contribute to accident sequences. The recommended techniques employ assessments of a catalog of Performance Shaping Factors (PSFs) that influence the reliability of operating crews in carrying out their activities.
