Abstract
Improvement in human reliability is of great concern in modern high technology systems. Efforts in the nuclear industry, mostly in Japan were surveyed and classified into improvement in human work situations and that in man-machine systems. In the former, human error prone situations were investigated using training simulators and from actual near-misses and incidents in real operating plants. The results have been used to improve operator training and other work situations. The objective of man-machine system improvement is to optimize the total performance of nuclear power plants such that automation and supervisory control by human operators will be designed to reduce human errors as well as to effectively utilize human ingenuity.
