Development of Human Factors Standards and Regulatory Guidance to Ensure Safe Operation of Nuclear Reactors
DescriptionNew technologies and regulatory shifts are reshaping nuclear power generation and redefining the operator’s role in maintaining safety. As advanced reactors move toward deployment, and the existing fleet undergoes modernization, updated human factors standards and regulatory guidance are essential to supporting these changes.
This panel brings together representatives from IEEE, ANS, and ISO, along with staff from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to discuss recent updates to human factors standards and how they are being applied. Panelists will explore how these standards and regulatory perspectives are enabling innovation, supporting next‑generation designs, and ensuring that the industry continues to meet future energy needs safely.
