Abstract

In Chap. 3, we identified five kinds of complexity factors that can complicate the performance of proceduralized tasks. In addition, a theoretical basis to quantify the complexity of proceduralized tasks was explained in Chap. 4. Therefore, the next phase is to develop a quantification method that is able to calculate the contribution of each complexity factor. First, it would be worthwhile to review the characteristics of emergency tasks prescribed in the EOPs of NPPs, because detailed explanations about the quantification method will be described based on them.
