Human Factors on the Point Lepreau Refurbishment Project

Abstract

This paper describes the Human Factors Engineering Program Plan (HFEPP) being executed as an engineering activity during the Point Lepreau Generating Station refurbishment project. The scope includes human factors reviews/assessments of plant refurbishment design packages, design changes to the Solid Radioactive Waste Management Facility (SRWMF), and equipment design to support the fuel channel retubing process. The Point Lepreau Refurbishment (PLR) design work was screened to determine the Human Factors Engineering (HFE) level of effort required to adequately address the associated human/system interfaces. This paper explains the methodology for screening work package activities associated with each level of effort as well as specific activities related to the SRWMF and design of Retube equipment.
