Synopsis

A comprehensive, one-volume treatment of human reliability analysis, this book incorporates an introduction to probabilistic risk assessment for nuclear power generating stations, and is the first work to treat the subject according to the framework established for general systems theory. It draws upon reliability analysis, psychology, human factors engineering, and statistics, integrating elements of these fields within a systems framework. The uninitiated reader is provided with a history of human reliability analysis, and actual examples of the application of the systems approach are included.
