Technology, Human Performance, and Nuclear Facilities: A Systems Engineering Approach to Reduce Human Error [Paperback]

Technology, Human Performance, and Nuclear Facilities: A Systems Engineering Approach to Reduce Human Error provides a basic understanding of Human Error/Performance and its relation to industrial operations and advancing technologies incorporated into facilities.

1. Incident Case Studies in the US Nuclear Power Industry and Impetus for Human Error Reduction. 2. Nuclear Incident Severity Determination and Public and Industry Perception of Incidents and the Impact this has on Nuclear Powers Future. 3. Why Nuclear Incidents Happen: A Detailed Review of Human Performance, Human Errors, and Technology Interface. 4. An Observational Study on the Interface Between Human Error and Technology Advancement. 5. The Data Analysis and Result Interpretation Correlating Human Error and Technology Advancement in Nuclear Operation. 6. The Application of the Systems Engineering Process to Enhance Human Performance Improvement in the Operation of Nuclear Facilities. 7. The Incorporation of Procedure and Training Development in the Systems Engineering Process as a Method of Human Performance Improvement in Nuclear Facility Operation. 8. Final Recommendations for the Favorable Combination of Advancing Technology and Human Performance in the Nuclear Setting. Appendix. Survey Structure, Analysis, and Results.

This book statistically confirms that complexity and changing technologies that affect the way operators interact within the systems of the nuclear facili-ties exacerbate the severity of incidents caused by human error and details the application of the systems engineering process to reduce human error given industries rapidly advancing technology.
