Abstract :
There has been a lack of human error data underpinning human reliability analysis (HRA) since the discipline´s origination in the early 1960s, and this has continually caused problems in HRAs credibility and the ability to validate its quantification techniques. Consequently a nuclear power domain research initiative funded the development of the Computerised Operator Reliability and Error Database (CORE-DATA). CORE-DATA has been generated via an HRA user needs analysis, and is based on valid human error taxonomies by which qualitative and quantitative data can be identified and categorised. The database contains human error data which have been collected from a variety of sources
