Description

The following is a commentary for the purpose of identifying specific areas where there is a serious need for criteria and philosophical development that will permit designers to move rapidly to account for human factors in nuclear power plants. While only a few specific problems are discussed, it is recognized that the need for engineering criteria exists for a much broader range of human behavioral problems. (orig./HP)
