Abstract
An overview of the history, current activities, and future directions of human factors in Canada's nuclear power industry is given. A brief profile of the operating nuclear power plants in Canada and their basic characteristics is provided. The history of human factors participation in the nuclear power industry is outlined, and some of the activities and ongoing developments that are most significant are described. Human factors is acquiring increased importance and a wider recognition of its role in the design, licensing, and operation of nuclear plants.<>
