Abstract

THERP (Technique for Human Error Rate Prediction) methodology has been widely used for probabilistic safety assessments. The NUREG report involving this methodology is also called the HRA handbook. The THERP assumes that all actions involved in implementing a task are considered as components. In this paper human error rates associated with maintenance are evaluated by the THERP methodology. A gas governor system is used as an example which is also a risky system like nuclear power plants. It is also demonstrated that this approach is flexible in that it can be applied to any operator actions related to test and maintenance.
