Human Factors Considerations in the Transfer and Storage of Liquid Nuclear Waste at Chalk River Laboratories

Abstract

This paper describes Human Factors issues associated with the design and operation of waste management facilities with a focus on the design of Chalk River Laboratories Liquid Waste Transfer and Storage project. Although these issues pose challenges to the project, the paper briefly describes how some of the Human Factors engineering tools used successfully in the power plant domain may also be used in the effective analyses, design, and review of a waste management system.
