A Comparison of Operator Response Times Predicted by the HCR Model with those Obtained from Simulators

Dolby, A.J. - In: International Journal of Quality & Reliability Management 7 (1990) 5

A case study of the analysis of operator reponse times following an abnormal event is presented. A number of timings of operator responses on a full‐scale nuclear plant simulator have been taken. These timings are compared with the human cognitive reliability (HCR) model. Agreement with the...
