MODIFICATIONS AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS -INTERNATIONAL VIEWS ABOUT THE ROLE OF HUMAN FACTORS

摘要

Due to the impact of the human-system interface design on nuclear safety, it isrnevident that nuclear power plants require a modification process that systematically considersrnthe needs of plant personnel. Although an abundance of information is available aboutrnhuman factors, members of the Nuclear Energy Agency's Special Experts Group on Humanrnand Organisational Factors have observed that designers do not always systematicallyrnconsider the capabilities and limitations of system users. This paper describes best practicesrnfor incorporating human factors into the modification process and concludes by summarizingrnareas for improvement.
