Abstract

The human maintenance failures and design deficiencies, remained latent in the system, have an impact on the severity of a disturbance, e.g. by disabling safety-related equipment on demand. Especially common cause failures (CCFs) of safety related systems can affect the core damage risk to a significant extent. The topic was addressed in Finnish studies, where experiences of latent human errors have been searched and analysed in detail from the maintenance history of the Loviisa and Olkiluoto NPPs.
