PSYCHOLOGICAL RESOURCES FOR SAFETY CULTURE ENHANCEMENT

摘要

Psychological resources for safety culture enhancement in nuclear power engineering are presented. Theoretical aspects and a practical approach to the use of psychology in safety assessment and quality assurance of NPPs are discussed. The safety culture of the atomic industry includes such problems as general risks in power production, the quality level of technology, technical reliability, and also the personnel's living conditions, job organization and professional education. But these problems of each NPP energy cycle are solved by people. People's psychological willingness (attitudes to successful performance) is an integrated and important psychological factor for safety culture enhancement.
