Description

A methodology for quantifying dynamic human error rates, which makes use of the human cognitive reliability (HCR) model, was developed. The objective was to ensure traceability, repeatability, and consistency in the level of analysis for each action. This methodology was then applied in a full-scope, Level 1 probabilistic risk assessment (PRA); i.e., the Three Mile Island Unit 1 (TMI-1) PRA. (orig.)
