Methods: A total of 500 nuclear power plant operators were randomly selected from 7 nuclear power plant operators of China Nuclear Power Plant (CNNU) and Guangzhou Nuclear Power Group (CGN), and the psychological health assessment scale was used to evaluate the mental health of the operators of China Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). Correlation analysis was performed on the data results. Results: The concealment factor (Li) in this study was less than 8 points, suggesting that the analysis of the test results is credible. The average score of the 500 operators in China was 25.1 ± 4.2, most of them were in good condition. Different ages, working years and academic qualifications have different influences on the psychological factors of handling style, but marital status has no obvious influence on them. The working age, age group, higher educational background group had lower score of work style factor, and the independence factor was the most important factor in each factor of service style.
