project phase 1 are detailed in this special article.
EXAM-HRA is a Nordic-German co-operation project for
surveying and developing a best practices guideline for
performing HRA (human reliability analysis) in Swedish,
Finnish and German NPPs (nuclear power plants). Phase 1
work was completed in 1, and included a survey of the
current HRA practices and methodologies used in selected
Swedish, Finnish and German NPPs. The aim of the research
was to develop a method for identifying similar human
failure events at the different plants, and subsequently
discern the reason for any differences in the analysis.
Differences in the HRA analysis mainly come from two
sources: differences plant design or operational
features, or differences HRA practices used to analyse to
human actions. Another objective in this work is to
identify good practices in plant operations and HRA
analysis. Phase 1 work was done in preparation for Phase
2 starting in early 2011, where the actual guidelines are
produced based on the findings of Phase 1. EXAM-HRA is an
NPSAG project and VTTs participation in the project was
coordinated within the CHARISMA project, which is a part
of the SAFIR2010 research program.
