Human Factors Engineering in the Design of the Socio-Technical System of the Control Room of a New Generation Reactor: Issues Faced During Multistage Validation

Looking beyond the screen: A systematic review of safety in control rooms

“…The main CR (MCR), serving as the center of control and coordination, represents a complex socio-technical system responsible for managing plant operations. The MCR encompasses various elements, encompassing the physical aspect of the CR, the personnel involved, the operating procedures followed by operators, the machine interfaces facilitating human interaction, and the organization of individuals in normal, abnormal, accidental, and emergency scenarios [ 5 , 6 ]. A socio-technical system aims to achieve goal-directed behaviors and ensure successful overall performance by combining the efforts of humans and technology [ 7 ].…”
