How we accomplish our mission Nuclear Systems Systems Human Organization Human Factors Human Reliability

• What can go wrong?

• Why it goes wrong?

• What is the probability?

• How to prevent it?

• What are the consequences?

How we Analyze Human Performance Issues

• Deterministic Reviews

- System Design Reviews

- HFE Program Reviews

• Probabilistic Reviews (PRA)

- System Performance
