Accident Sequence Evaluation Program: Human reliability analysis procedure
Alan D. Swain
- 01 Feb 1987
TL;DR: ASEP HRA Procedure is a shortened version of HRA procedure presented in NUREG/CR-1278. It is designed to enable systems analysts to estimate human error probabilities and other human performance characteristics for probabilistic risk assessments.

Abstract: This document presents a shortened version of the procedure, models, and data for human reliability analysis (HRA) which are presented in the Handbook of Human Reliability Analysis With emphasis on Nuclear Power Plant Applications (NUREG/CR-1278, August 1983). This shortened version was prepared and tried out as part of the Accident Sequence Evaluation Program (ASEP) funded by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and managed by Sandia National Laboratories. The intent of this new HRA procedure, called the ''ASEP HRA Procedure,'' is to enable systems analysts, with minimal support from experts in human reliability analysis, to make estimates of human error probabilities and other human performance characteristics which are sufficiently accurate for many probabilistic risk assessments. The ASEP HRA Procedure consists of a Pre-Accident Screening HRA, a Pre-Accident Nominal HRA, a Post-Accident Screening HRA, and a Post-Accident Nominal HRA. The procedure in this document includes changes made after tryout and evaluation of the procedure in four nuclear power plants by four different systems analysts and related personnel, including human reliability specialists. The changes consist of some additional explanatory material (including examples), and more detailed definitions of some of the terms. 42 refs.

Reliability engineering: Old problems and new challenges
TL;DR: The first recorded usage of the word reliability dates back to the 1800s, albeit referred to a person and not a technical system as discussed by the authors, and since then, the concept of reliability has become a pervasive attribute worth of both qualitative and quantitative connotations.

Challenges in the vulnerability and risk analysis of critical infrastructures
Enrico Zio,Enrico Zio +1 more
TL;DR: The integration of different types of analyses and methods of system modeling is put forward for capturing the inherent structural and dynamic complexities of critical infrastructures and eventually evaluating their vulnerability and risk characteristics, so that decisions on protections and resilience actions can be taken with the required confidence.

A fuzzy Bayesian network approach to improve the quantification of organizational influences in HRA frameworks
TL;DR: The results show that the proposed methodology of combining the conceptual causal model with BN approach can not only qualitatively model the causal relationships between organizational factors and human reliability but also can quantitatively measure human operational reliability.
