Quantitative human reliability assessment in Marine Engineering Operations
… opportunities as well as the threat of erroneous human actions, which account for 80-90% of marine incidents and accidents. In this respect, shipping environments are extremely vulnerable. As a result, decision makers and stakeholders have zero tolerance for accidents and environmental damage, and …

Advanced thermal hydraulic simulations for human reliability assessment of nuclear power plants
Human Risk Assessment (HRA) in the nuclear power industry has advanced in the last two decades. However, there is a lack of understanding of the magnitude of the effect of thermal hydraulic (TH) uncertainties upon the failure probabilities of the operator actions of nuclear units. I demonstrate in …
