Description / Abstract:
This document provides guidance for evaluating human-system
performance related to systems, equipment, and facilities in
nuclear power generating stations. It summarizes specific
evaluation techniques and presents rationale for their application
within the integrated systems approach to plant design, operations,
and maintenance described in IEEE Std 1023-1988 [B3].
Purpose
This document provides guidance for the selection and
application of human performance evaluation techniques. It
summarizes various techniques and presents recommendations for
their application. Tasks to which they may be applied include the
following:
a) Investigating human-system performance characteristics;
b) Testing design or operating approaches for adequacy;
c) Comparing alternative designs or configurations; or
d) Evaluating the maintainability of the system.
This guide is for use by personnel who are familiar with the
concepts of formal human factors analysis, but not necessarily
familiar with the details of specific techniques.
