The March 28, 1979 accident at Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant focused national attention on the safety of U.S. nuclear power plants. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) took immediate action to redress the deficiencies highlighted as a result of the numerous investigations following TMI, and began a longer-term reassessment of overall safety aspects of nuclear power plant design and operation. A common theme, and key feature of TMI Action Plan, was the need to improve the manner in which human factors were dealt with in power plant design and operation. The purpose of this article is to summarize the results of a recent study of human factors in nuclear power plant (NPP) maintenance conducted by the Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratories for the NRC (Badalamente, et al., 1982). The primary focus of the study was on maintainability, although other areas of maintenance are touched upon.
