As part of the Severe Accident Sequence Analysis (SASA) program of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), threats to containment and ways in which operators can help preserve containment integrity during severe accidents are examined. Severe accidents a...
The report describes a human factors research project performed to: (1) support the Severe Accident Sequence Analysis (SASA) program and (2) develop a descriptive model of operator response in accident management. The first goal was accomplished by workin...
In Washington State, priority programming for evaluating accident prevention and mitigation (safety improvement) involves analysis of roadside features, but the effects that such features have on the frequency and severity of accidents is not well underst...
As part of the Severe Accident Risk Reduction Program, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have constructed a group of containment event trees to be used in the analysis of key accident sequences for light water reactors (LWR) during postulated se...

In 1990, the Safety Analysis Group at the Savannah River Site (SRS) began development of an Accident Management program. The program was designed to provide a total system which would meet the Department of Energy (DOE) Safety Performance Criteria, in reg...
To begin a zero accident campaign for industry, the first thing is to estimate the industrial accident rate and the zero accident time systematically. This paper considers the social and technical change of the business environment after beginning the zero accident campaign through quantitative time series ...
