TY - JOUR PY - 1980// TI - Human factor data in nuclear power plant applications JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Hecht, Linda O. SP - 123 EP - 123 VL - 24 IS - 1 N2 - Due to the concern for safety the nuclear power industry in the United States has fostered the use of reliability analysis to assess system performance and the impact of system failure on overall plant safety. The need for system and component failure rate data has been recognized and has spurred such efforts as NPRDS (Nuclear Power Research Data System) and IEEE's Std 500 (The Reliability Data Manual). Reliability modeling techniques have been developed for application to nuclear systems and are presently being considered by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for licensing purposes.
