Abstract: Abstract In order to identify the performance shaping factors (PSFs) which influencing operator’s reliability in digital control system of nuclear power plants (NPPs), the comparative analysis of the representative contextual characteristics between traditional analog control system and digital control system is carried out by means of literature research, field observation and interviews in this paper, and identify the typical PSFs in terms of technical system, human–computer interface, procedure system, task, and team communication and cooperation. The classification of PSFs has been collected from existing PSF taxonomies of human reliability analysis (HRA), human error analysis (HEA), and organizational factors classification and performance evaluation methods, and based on the established classification criterion and classification framework (the conceptual causal model of human error), the relative comprehensive classification system of PSFs is built to provide the reference to HEA and HRA in digital control systems of NPPs.
