Abstract
Abstract This paper presents a brief review of a mainframe version of a computer code for simulating maintenance crew performance crew and introduces advantages realized with the recent implementation of a personal computer (PC) version. The basic computer model—the maintenance personnel performance simulation (MAPPS)—has been developed and validated by the US nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in order to improve maintenance practices and procedures at nuclear power plants. The simulation model is stochastically based, and users are able to model 2 to 15 person crews. Maintenance crew performance is varied as a function of task, environment, and personnel factors. MAPPS produces human error probabilities (HEPs) suitable for use in probabilistic risk assessments. These HEPs are also a potentially important source of information for risk management data bases such as the NRC sponsored Nuclear Computerized Library for Assessing Reactor Reliability (NUCLARR).
