The Human Unimodel for Nuclear Technology to Enhance Reliability (HUNTER) is simulation software for modeling the human portion of risk. HUNTER is built on a framework that separately models individual, task, and environmental factors. As a dynamic human reliability analysis (HRA) method, it affords advantages over traditional static or worksheet-based HRA approaches, such as the ability to model what-if scenarios and produce outputs beyond human error probabilities. In this paper, a validation was conducted of HUNTER task time estimates vs. empirical data collected for a steam generator tube rupture scenario. The HUNTER model produced using GOMS-HRA task-level primitives yielded timing results very closely aligned to empirical reference data for base and complex conditions, suggesting the tool holds promise for HRA requiring time estimation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
