methods to the performance of nuclear power plant crews in a control room simulator. There are a number of unique aspects to … performance; (4) a relatively large sample size of crews; (5) the use of multiple methods and scenarios to provide a well …-rounded view of HRA performance; (6) the importance of clearly defined human failure events; and (7) the use of a common comparison …

This paper presents an approach for treating uncertainty in the performance assessment process to efficiently address … regulatory performance objectives for radioactive waste disposal and discusses the application of the approach at the Greater … Confinement Disposal site. In this approach, the performance assessment methodology uses probabilistic risk assessment concepts to …

In March 1994, the US Department of Energy Carlsbad Area Office (DOE/CAO) implemented a performance based decision … of activities in terms of their predicted contribution to long-term performance of the WIPP disposal system; and (3 …) analyze cost, duration, and performance tradeoffs. SPM results were the basis for activities recommended to DOE/CAO in May …
