ABSTRACT
The design studies for a future reactor mainly began at the start of the 2000s decade. During this period EDF design teams asked for support from Research and Development (R&D) to help them to define the human factors evaluation program for this project and assist them in designing the control means. From 2003 to 2012, five main human factors evaluation campaigns were performed. The aim is to anticipate and to handle the risks in relation with the future socio-technical system through a human factors engineering program based on an iterative process of specification and evaluation. This paper focuses on the last HF evaluation campaign that had associated a multidisciplinary approach for the evaluation of the team operation organization, and was conducted in a full scale simulator. The aim is to analyze the cooperation between two disciplines, ergonomics and human reliability: how their differences and their limits make them complementary.
