There are a number of methods for evaluating the probability of human error. Two of the better-known methods are the Technique for Human Error Rate Prediction (THERP) (Reference NUREG/CR-1278) and the Accident Sequence Evaluation Program Human Reliability Analysis Procedure (Reference NUREG/CR-4772). Error rates are usually established on a per-demand basis. 

ASEP Accident sequence evaluation program. It is almost THERE (discussed in later), but requires fewer resources. It is mainly developed in the United States for nuclear program. It can be used by non-HRA specialists. Both pre- and postaccident quantification of HFEs are done in ASEP. Usually, it gives conservative output. It is used for nuclear plants.

In April 1982, a data workshop was held to evaluate, discuss, and critique data in order to establish a consensus generic data set for the USNRC-RES National Reliability Evaluation Program (NREP). The data set contains component failure rates and probability estimates for loss of coolant accidents, transients, loss of offsite power events, and human errors that could be applied consistently across the nuclear power industry as screening values for initial identification of dominant accident sequences in PRAs. This data set was used in the development of guidance documents for the performance of PRAs.
