ABSTRACT
Many existing simple systems are incapable of meeting current demand and are quickly becoming obsolete, indicating that more challenging systems and designs will exist in the future. If new technologies are not implemented correctly, human error in operation can quickly manifest. To combat the negative effects advancing technologies may have on plant operations, this chapter discusses several concepts including the systems engineering process, the need for it, and ways to leverage it to improve human performance. The isolation and bolstering of human performance improvement within the systems engineering process pose a novel approach to moderating human error associated with incorporating advanced technology in nuclear facilities.
