Role of Man in Ensuring the Safety of Nuclear Devices

摘要

The impact of the human factor on the safety and reliability of nuclear power plant operation is discussed and its critical aspects are pointed out: shortcomings in the design of the control room, in the organization and control of the plant and in regulations and working procedures and errors in the training of operators. The question is discussed of the operator's behavior during predicted and unpredicted failure of the system and his ability to recieve and process information. Securing the safe and reliable operation of nuclear power plants can substantially influence the current attitude of the public to their construction. (Atomindex citation 15:067991)
