Abstract:

This presentation describes an ongoing effort to incorporate human factors principles into the design and process development for waste management programs at a nuclear weapons plant. Through the use of mock-up and simulation techniques it has been possible to test and train personnel on proposed operations in a safe environment and redesign equipment to maximize safety and efficiency before actual work begins. This approach is described in the context of a specific case where a custom designed glovebag was developed to clean Pu from ventilation ducts in an operating facility.
