Human reliability analysis (HRA) is crucial for evaluating and improving the safety of complex systems. Recent efforts have focused on estimating human error probability (HEP), but existing methods often rely heavily on expert knowledge,which can be subjective and time-consuming. Inspired by the success of large language models (LLMs) in natural language processing, this paper introduces a novel two-stage framework for knowledge-driven reliability analysis, integrating IDHEAS and LLMs (KRAIL). This innovative framework enables the semi-automated computation of base HEP values. Additionally, knowledge graphs are utilized as a form of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for enhancing the framework' s capability to retrieve and process relevant data efficiently. Experiments are systematically conducted and evaluated on authoritative datasets of human reliability. The experimental results of the proposed methodology demonstrate its superior performance on base HEP estimation under partial information for reliability assessment.

HRA (Human Reliability Analysis) data is crucial for advancing HRA methodologies. however, existing data collection methods lack the necessary granularity, and most approaches fail to capture dynamic features. Additionally, many methods require expert knowledge as input, making them time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address these challenges, we propose a new paradigm for the automated collection of HRA data. Our approach focuses on key indicators behind human error, specifically measuring workload in collaborative settings. This study introduces a novel, scenario-driven method for workload estimation, leveraging fine-tuned large language models (LLMs). By training LLMs on real-world operational data from high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), we simulate human behavior and cognitive load in real time across various collaborative scenarios. The method dynamically adapts to changes in operator workload, providing more accurate, flexible, and scalable workload estimates. The results demonstrate that the proposed WELLA (Workload Estimation with LLMs and Agents) outperforms existing commercial LLM-based methods in terms of prediction accuracy.
