Abstract
The Enhanced Bayesian THERP (Technique for Human Reliability Analysis)
method has been successfully used in real PSA-studies at Finnish and Swedish
NPPs. The method offers a systematic approach to qualitatively and
quantitatively analyze operator actions. In order to better know its
characteristics from a more international perspective, it has been subject to
evaluation within the framework of the ‘‘HRA Methods Empirical Study Using
Simulator Data.’’ This paper gives a brief overview of the method with major
findings from the evaluation work including identified strengths and potential
weaknesses of the method. A number of possible improvement areas have been
identified and will be considered in future development of the method
