Identification and analysis of human errors underlying pump and valve related events reported by nuclear power plant licensees

Speaker, D M; Thompson, S R; Luckas, Jr, W J

This report provides a useful and adaptable data base of human error associated with the operation, testing, and maintenance of reactor safety system pumps and valves in licensed nulcear power plants. To produce this data base, a practical and workable methodology was developed and implemented on more than 3,000 Licensee Events Reports (LERs) which resulted in a human error data base six times larger than indicated by the LERs themselves. This data base is intended to provide a realistic assessment of the appropriate human error populations required in NUREG/CR-1880.
