Incident review and root cause analysis

Analyzing human reliability in nuclear power plants

Using incident reports to identify sources of error during commissioning and propose ways to reduce them.

Operators working at consoles in a nuclear plant control room

Problem

Human errors and technical issues during commissioning can affect the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants.

My role

I retrieved and reviewed more than 90 incident reports, used data visualization to investigate root causes, and proposed ways to mitigate recurring issues.

Outcome

I documented this work in my bachelor’s thesis, which received the Best Thesis Award in 2019.
