Study on Human Error Under Digital MCR Environment of Nuclear Power Plant

The technology of distributed control system (DCS) is used in the digital main control room (MCR) which has a strong ability in data collection and automatic monitoring. It had been widely used among nuclear power industry nowadays. Compared with the traditional MCR, it brings plentiful information of the unit together with great challenges to the unit operators that had never met before. The lack of intuitively with the unit condition, huge human-computer information exchange will easily cause human error if without mind focus. This article which is based on the reasons of human error occur in digital MCR, and brings an analysis on how to take measures to reduce human errors, and make a more reliable and safety operation.
