SHEAN (Simplified Human Error Analysis code) and automated THERP

Conference Wilson, J R

One of the most widely used human error analysis tools is THERP (Technique for Human Error Rate Prediction). Unfortunately, this tool has disadvantages. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, realizing these drawbacks, commissioned Dr. Swain, the author of THERP, to create a simpler, more consistent tool for deriving human error rates. That effort produced the Accident Sequence Evaluation Program Human Reliability Analysis Procedure (ASEP), which is more conservative than THERP, but a valuable screening tool. ASEP involves answering simple questions about the scenario in question, and then looking up the appropriate human error rate in the indicated table (THERP also uses look-upmore »« less

Scoping assessments and review of sub-scale models in support of DuraMAT Predictive Simulation Capability Area #2

Technical Report Hartley, James Yuan

The goal of the DuraMAT Predictive Simulation Capability Area is to develop a suite of modeling and simulation tools to enhance understanding of module-level thermo-mechanicalelectrical effects contributing to degradation of solar photovoltaic modules. Since these effects invoke multiple physical mechanisms and take place over greatly varied time- and length- scales, developing a module-level model of sufficient resolution to capture all geometries and physics of interest was expected to be near code capability and computational resource limits. A series of sub-models and workflows were developed to assess physics and material model maturity and the necessary computational capacity for resolving degradation mechanismsmore »« less

Expert estimation of human error probabilities in nuclear power plant operations: a review of probability assessment and scaling

Technical Report Stillwell, W G ; Seaver, D A ; Schwartz, J P

This report reviews probability assessment and psychological scaling techniques that could be used to estimate human error probabilities (HEPs) in nuclear power plant operations. The techniques rely on expert opinion and can be used to estimate HEPs where data do not exist or are inadequate. These techniques have been used in various other contexts and have been shown to produce reasonably accurate probabilities. Some problems do exist, and limitations are discussed. Additional topics covered include methods for combining estimates from multiple experts, the effects of training on probability estimates, and some ideas on structuring the relationship between performance shaping factorsmore »« less
