Abstract: Abstract Generally, good design, through sound quality assurance, installation, and operation and maintenance programs provide the basic foundation for power plants’ safe and reliable operations. Nonetheless, humans play an important role during design, production, operation, and maintenance phases of systems used in power plants. Although the degree of role of humans may vary quite considerably from one phase to another, their interactions are subject to deterioration because of the occurrence of human error.
