OSTI ID:6495623

This document presents the results of a study conducted by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission of a voluntary, third-party managed, nonpunitive data gathering system (the Nuclear Power Safety Reporting System - NPSRS). The data to be gathered by the NPSRS are intended for use in identifying and quantifying the factors that contribute to the occurrence of significant safety problems involving humans in nuclear power plants. The NPSRS has been designed to encourage participation in the system through guarantees of reporter anonymity provided by a third party organization that is responsible for management of the system. This document presents the specifications for implementation and day-to-day operations of the NPSRS. In it, the elements, requirements and procedures of the system are outlined.
