Abstract
This article defines and classifies human errors simply, and also analyzes representative human errors in nuclear power plant. This article also describes the difference between digital control room and traditional analog control room of nuclear plant, such as composition, information display, procedure, alarm system and operate mode. This article introduces human characteristics in digital control room including the role of the operator, the task load of operators, operator’s ability and experience, and digital human system interface. A example is given for human issues in digital control room. And the article simply studies and discusses preventive countermeasures in digital control system of nuclear plant at last. Since in preventing the human errors have common measures, but are also very different, much research work has been carried out.
