Abstract

Objective: This paper describes an analysis of electroencephalography(EEG) signals to identify human errors during using digital devices in nuclear power plants(NPPs). Background: The application of an advanced main control room(MCR) has accompanied with lots of changes in different forms and features by virtue of new digital technologies. The characteristics of these digital technologies and devices provide several opportunities for the use of interface management. It can integrate into a compact single workstation in an advanced MCR, allowing workers to operate the plant with minimum physical burden under any operating condition. However these devices may introduce new types of human errors, and thus we need a means to assess and prevent such errors especially those related to digital devices. Method/Conclusion: The EEG data are relatively objective, and thus we introduce several measures to EEG analysis for obtaining the feasibility of human error identification. Application: This study may support to ensure the safety when applying digital devices in NPPs.
