Abstract Details

2013, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
This thesis discusses the development of Full scope BWR Simulator developed for human reliability course initiated at The Ohio State University. Human System Interface (HSI) guidelines followed to set-up the simulator room and steps undertaken to create the generic simulator from the plant based simulator have also been discussed. The setup of simulator is followed by the course introduction. The developed course with its five components: human factors, human reliability analysis models, integration of HRA into PRA, open research issues in HRA, and hands on experiment in NPP simulator; has been explained in detail. The hands on experiment consists of training, HRA analysis, simulator session, students’ comparison of theoretical HEP value with practical value, and assessment of learning using preliminary pre-experiment and post-experiment questionnaires. The detailed questionnaire analysis is also included in this thesis. We also propose ideas to develop a better questionnaire to assess students learning, and to develop a better human factors and human reliability analysis course.
