TY - JOUR PY - 1981// TI - Human factor approaches for the enhancement of nuclear control rooms JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Pine, Steven M. SP - 12 EP - 12 VL - 25 IS - 1 N2 - The accident at Three Mile Island (TMI) has underscored the need for human factors review and analysis of Nuclear Control Rooms. Virtually every study of the TMI debacle has come to the conclusion that one of the major contributors of the accident was poor human engineering. In recognition of this fact, the nuclear industry, through its research institutes, has initiated a series of research programs designed to provide individual utilities with guidelines on how to apply human factors principles and criteria to improve the safety and performance of their nuclear facilities.
