Abstract
HRA studies have for long while depended on a combination of expert judgment estimates, Swain Handbook numbers and from accident reports, see [1] for a critique of HRA methods. Simulator data collection sessions have been carried world-wide [2], including the Electric Power Research Institute sponsored Operator Reliability Experiments [3], the simulator studies sponsored by the USNRC [4] and Electricité De France [5]. There has not been a total acceptance of the fact that simulator is the best approximation to the responses of operators during accident situations and the way to ensure that the HRA represents the actual crews responses to accidents. Training departments carryout a series of accident scenarios and these can be used for HRA purposes.
