Abstract
Human performance is an important factor in the assessment of outage plans and shutdown risk. An assessment process for examining plant outage working conditions against six fundamental methods for supporting reliable human performance is described. Results of a generic analysis using this process are presented. It is concluded that detailed and structured analyses of the human functions essential to support outage activities and accident mitigation strategies can be used to identify (1) weaknesses in outage plans and (2) methods for decreasing shutdown risks by improving support to reliable human performance.<>
