This study is an attempt to apply the Human Error Assessment and Reduction Technique (HEART) method in order to quantify the human failure event (HFE) for probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) of a TRIGA Mark II reactor, situated at the Malaysia Nuclear Agency, Malaysia. This serves the qualitative part of the human reliability analysis (HRA) framework and HEART method is considered due to its potential applicability in quantifying human error probability (HEP) for other industries, beside nuclear power. This study addresses the application of HEART method in details: classification of selected research reactor human task into the Generic Task Type, the assignment of the nominal HEP, evaluation of Error Producing Condition and the resultant Assessed Proportion of Affect. The results of this study will be applied in the quantification of PSA’s event sequence end state frequencies.
Abstract. Since its first criticality in 1982, PUSPATI TRIGA Reactor (RTP) has been operated for more than 30 years. As RTP become older, ageing problems have been seen to be the prominent issues. In addressing the ageing issues, an Ageing Management (AgeM) database for managing related ageing matters was systematically developed. This paper presents the development of AgeM database taking into account all RTP major Systems, Structures and Components (SSCs) and ageing mechanism of these SSCs through the system surveillance program.
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.
