Description

Again an again real incidents and accidents show that human factors may seriously affect the safety of plants. This is also true for, e.g. nuclear facilities. The major methods which are used to quantify the reliability of humans are described. These methods are applied in the framework of German and international risk analyses. Since in probabilistic safety analyses data bases are of great importance of the, however, naturally very difficult quantitative evaluation of human errors, the study also discusses the present limits to the treatment of human misbehavior in safety analyses.

Abstract (German)

Menschliche Handlungen koennen, wie reale Stoerfall- und Unfallablaeufe immer wieder zeigen, die Sicherheit einer Anlage erheblich beeinflussen; dies gilt z.B. auch fuer kerntechnische Anlagen. Die wesentlichen Methoden zur Quantifizierung der menschlichen Zuverlaessigkeit werden beschrieben, die im Rahmen deutscher und internationaler Risikostudien verwendet werden. Da die Datenbasis fuer die quantitative Bewertung menschlicher Fehler in probabilistischen Sicherheitsanalysen eine grosse Rolle spielt, deren Ermittlung aber naturgemaess grosse Schwierigkeiten bereitet, werden auch die gegenwaertigen Grenzen der Behandlung menschlichen Fehlverhaltens in Sicherheitsanalysen diskutiert.
