Abstract

In this paper, we apply a totally new approach to benchmark human reliability analysis, which is derived directly from the Universal Learning Curve (ULC) for homo-technological system (HTS) outcomes. We compare the latest second-generation predictions, based on the well-known and proven learning hypothesis, against some of the common Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) methods used to date for analyzing human reliability in transient and accident analysis. Therefore, we provide a straightforward, general and simple methodology for evaluating and predicting the Human Error Probability (HEP) in transients for accident risk prediction and reduction, as validated against all the available data, producing a completely independent assessment of the uncertainty.
