Abstract

This study reviews the status of researches on the reliability analysis methods at nuclear industry and its evolution along the years. Human reliability analysis (HRA) is one of the elements used in Probabilistic Safety Analysis (PSA) and is performed as part of PSAs to quantify the likelihood that people will fail to take action, such as errors of omission and errors of commission. An electronic search on CAPES Portal of Journals (a bibliographic database) was performed.
