Design Considerations

The existing design of ultrasound real-time scanners is not satisfactory from the standpoint of operator comfort or efficient use. As currently configured, these units are cumbersome and fatiguing to use and require unnecessarily complex and time-consuming movements on the part of the operator. Redesigning ultrasound scanners so that they conform to accepted principles of ergonomics or human-factor engineering should make it possible to achieve increased efficiency and improved study quality.

Review Criterion

The reviewing of operating experience at nuclear power plants (NPP) is not only critically important to safe and reliable operations, but also useful to guide the design of new plants which are similar to the current one under review. How to identify and analyze the safety-related operating experience and then implement a more extensive review is a vital and challengeable issue. In this paper, a methodology of human factor engineering (HFE) operating experience review (OER) is proposed for NPP. The need for the application of HFE in the life cycle activities of NPP and other nuclear facilities has been demonstrated by plant operating histories and regulatory and industry reviews. As a very important element of HFE, the OER is performed from the beginning of the design process. The main purpose of performing an OER is to verify that the applicant has identified and analyzed HFE-related safety problems and issues in previous designs that are similar to the current one. In this way, negative features associated with predecessor designs may be avoided in the current NPP design while retaining positive features. The research of OER concentrates on the aspect of review criterion, scope and implementation procedure of the HFE-related operating experience. As the NRC requirement, the scope of operating experience can be divided into six types in accordance with sources of information. The implementation procedures of USA and China are introduced, respectively. The resolution of HFE OER issues involve function allocation, changes in automation, HSI equipment design, procedures, training, and so forth. The OER conclusions can contribute to other HFE activities and improve the safety, reliability and usability of the HSI design in NPP.

We present a conceptual foundation and empirical framework for modeling cognitive complexity in cyber range event operating environments. Definitions of key concepts, such as cognitive complexity, task difficulty, and Blue Team cognitive workload, are informed by the literature of human factor engineering. This is followed by an approach to assessing cognitive complexity as experienced by a Blue Team in a given cyber range event operating environment, and a validation of that assessment method.

Agent Of Change

Often, organizations within a large corporation require restructuring for more efficient operations. Human Factors personnel are increasingly becoming the “Agent of Change” when reorganization or restructuring is required. The present paper describes a two-year reorganization process that resulted in the standardization of manual workflow, electronic data processing enhancement, increased work efficiency, and improvements in the quality of the work environment of an engineering organization with a major corporation.

Human Failure

It is well recognized that humans play an important role in the safety operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs). Usually three types of human interactions (HIs) are defined in the human reliability analysis (HRA) of probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) for NPPs, i.e., pre-initiating event HIs, initiating event-related HIs, and post-initiating event HIs. In this paper, a brief introduction of the HRA methodology for CAP1400 nuclear power plant is first presented, including internal events and external events (mainly internal fire and flooding) HRA. Next, the CAP1400 human failure event quantification content is given with a typical example, and some insights and proposals based on CAP1400 PSA/HRA results are discussed. Finally, the application of HRA in human factor engineering design of CAP1400 is described. The human actions (HAs) most important to safety are identified via a combination of probabilistic and deterministic analyses, and then addressed when conducting the human factor engineering program. The CAP1400 HRA is one of the most important PSA elements and provides fundamental support for CAP1400 PSA and the relevant applications.
