NRC TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING JUNE 17 ON
HUMAN RELIABILITY ANALYSIS FOR RISK MODELING
Printable Version

Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with interested stakeholders on June 17 in Rockville, Md., to discuss a new human reliability analysis (HRA) method to support standardized plant analysis risk models. The meeting will be held in Room O-7B4 at 11555 Rockville Pike, from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

HRA addresses the need to account for human errors when performing safety studies, reviewing special issues, or helping to risk-inform oversight and regulation. The analysis is based in part on results from human performance studies published in behavioral sciences literature.

The public is invited to participate by discussing technical issues with NRC staff at designated points during the meeting. The agenda is available electronically through the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) on the NRC web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/web-based.html, by entering accession number ML031540023. Help in using ADAMS is available from the NRC’s Public Document Room at 800/397-4209 or 301/415-4737. For more information on the meeting, contact Erasmia Lois at 301/415-6560.
