SPECIAL APPOINTMENT
In 1980-82, was appointed to serve on a select study team under contract to the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission as a result of the Three Mile Island accident. Was one of seven
scientists investigating human factors and safety of operations in nuclear power plant
control rooms. Focus was on human engineering issues such as controls, displays,
alarms, warnings, equipment accessibility, operational utility, selection/training, and
other human factors. Participated in writing a 3-volume report on long-range human
factors needs for the nuclear power industry. Met with the NRC Commissioners to
discuss findings.
