title: An experimental study on estimating human error probability (HEP) parameters for PSA/HRA by using human model simulation.
abstract: A framework of Human Error Probability (HEP) parameters, which is needed for Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) within a practice of Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) of Nuclear Power Plant is first proposed. Then a laboratory experiment was conducted in order to construct a computer simulation model (human model) that describes human cognitive behaviour on detecting and diagnosing plant anomaly causes. An inter-comparison between experimental data and human model simulation was performed to estimate Human Cognitive Reliability (HCR) curves, in order to confirm the applicability of a human model for estimating these HEP parameters for PSA/HRA practice.
