Report
Survey of human error contributions in some recent probabilistic risk assessments
Description
The human error contributions to the dominant accident sequences in some recent PRAs are surveyed. The plants considered are Millstone 3, Seabrook, Shoreham, and Oconee 3. The dominant accident sequences that contain human error contributions are displayed along with the per cent contribution to the total core damage frequency from each accident sequence and from the human error portion of each sequence. The survey shows that human error contributions appear in most of the dominant accident sequences for Shoreham, a BWR, but that only a few of the dominant accident sequences for the other plants, all PWRs, contain human error contributions.
