A strategy for examining human reliability aspects of plant security

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7120502
This paper presents a strategy for developing a long-term research plan for human factors issues which can adversely affect safeguards at nuclear power plants. It was developed in order to prioritize and propose research for appropriately addressing nuclear power plan safeguards needs. The strategy consists of a series of parts, the first of which identifies and ranks human factors issues affecting the quality of nuclear power plant safeguards in terms of their importance. The second part involves determining the feasibility of conducting research in the areas found to be important to nuclear power plant safeguards. Third, research efforts are then developed and prioritized into main program elements according to the importance of human factors issue areas derived in the first part and the feasibility of research determined in the second part. From this strategy, a realistic overall long-term research plan will emerge.
