Abstract

Two techniques useful for the simulation and analysis of human performance in tasks involving nuclear power plant operation, maintenance and testing are evaluated. The SAINT and THERP techniques are compared with respect to their relevance to conducting task analysis, estimation of human error probabilities and accounting for performance shaping factors in nuclear power plants. The results show that the SAINT is more flexible and has promising features for human engineering studies of complex systems when compared to the static THERP technique currently used in nuclear safety analysis.
