Abstract: One of the main tasks of the nuclear power plant field operators is to perform visual inspection for detecting anomalies in the plant's equipment. According to the field operator interviews performed in this study, this task is rather solitary and requires precision and expertise and, furthermore, it is rather monotonous. Even if field operators appear to truly understand the importance of performing the inspection rounds calmly and carefully, supporting the good quality of inspection, also other means to support are needed and have been identified in the study, related to training and work practices. These development ideas will be discussed in the next phase of the study, at the managerial level of the nuclear power plant.
