Design and Implementation of HuREX Analysis Supporting Interface for HRA Data Extraction

AbstractIt is well-known that one of the main causes of problems affecting social-technical systems, including nuclear power plants (NPPs), is human error. For this reason, reducing human error through human reliability analysis (HRA) is important. Furthermore, sufficient and reliable human performance data collection is a prerequisite for ensuring the safety of NPPs. The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute developed the Human Reliability data EXtraction (HuREX) framework to provide a standard guideline for the collection and analysis of human performance data from operators in main control rooms based on simulator training records of NPPs. To do this, the development of a computerized software interface is required to collect simulator-based human performance data systematically and then to enter/analyze/quantify the various forms of data obtained from the simulator. In addition, a HRA database is needed for the effective management of the data generated during this process. In this research, we devel...
