Chapter 18 Human Factors Engineering

As a result of the TMI-2 accident, a chapter on human

factors engineering was added to NUREG-0800, "standard Review

Plan." Regulatory Guide 1.70 has not yet been revised to address

this subject. This chapter identifies criteria for human factors

engineering associated with the design of the control room and

the safety parameter display system.

This section identifies criteria for the design review

of the control room and remote shutdown capability to assure the

ability of reactor operators to prevent accidents and to cope

with accidents if they occur.
