An Unsafe Acts Autodetection Process in Nuclear Power Plant Operations

Automating nuclear plant operation can lower the probability of causing human error. Indeed, some systems of nuclear operation (i.e. ESFAS) are automated, but in an emergency, most operations are performed manually by the operators. Although human intervention into nuclear power plants creates great uncertainty in the probability of serious accidents, it is impossible to automate all operations at once. It takes considerable time and effort to verify new technologies. Therefore, we propose a system that can slightly increase the level of automation while assisting human operators. Operator supporting methods are being developed to reduce the effects of operator mistakes in nuclear plant operation. Nuclear power plant automation systems are also evaluated as contributing to lower the number of human errors. In this paper, we propose a solution that is somewhat free from those automation issues. If the performance of nuclear operators is improved by utilizing the CIA system, it will be a first step to solve some of the anxiety caused by nuclear power plant automation problems. But before this system can be trusted by its operators, the CIA system's warnings and grounds for its reliance should be clear and reliable.
