Task analysis identifies the specific tasks needed to accomplish human actions, and the information, control and task support required to complete those tasks. In the control room design, the functions allocated to personnel shall be performed analysis, and it is identified that the specific task can be accomplished by the personnel. Task analysis can provide one of the bases for the human system interface design decisions; match human performance requirements with human capabilities; provide input to procedure development and provide input to staffing, training, and communications requirements of the plant. The method about task analysis and the screening methodology used to select the tasks for analysis are very important. Usually, the scope of task analysis is divided into two complementary activities: function-based task analysis and traditional task analysis, or operational sequence analysis. Function-based task analysis is the functional decomposition (goal-means analysis) for normal power operations. The traditional task analysis, or operational sequence analysis is developed for a representative set of operational and maintenance tasks. The operational sequence analysis include OSA-1 and OSA-2.The task analysis considers alerts, such as alarms and warnings, decision-making, response, teamwork and communication, workload task support, workplace factors, situational and performance shaping factors and hazard identification. The paper also describes the selected basis of selecting the operational sequence to be analyzed in the operational sequence analysis. The method about task analysis and the screening methodology used to select the tasks for analysis are very important. The objective of task analysis review is to verify that the applicant undertook analyses identifying the specific tasks needed to accomplish personnel functions, and also the alarms, information, control- and task-support required to complete those duties. The paper mainly describes not only the above content, but also the reviewing work about task analysis and questions found in reviewing. In this article, there are some examples about the function-based task analysis. At last, the verification for task analysis is addressed simply.
