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 …
