The central positions of safety culture NPP are considered from the viewpoint of human factor. The thesis that achievement of high safety culture on home NPP must are guided by national traditions and particularities of development of home atomic energy is substantiated. The need of development and realization of programs of qualitative realignment of system and methods of control NPP, professional development of personnel NPP, analysis and eliminating the root reasons of accidents and incidents in accordance with human factor is formulated.

Mashin V.A. About psychological providing exploitation and management NPP. Electric plants, 1994, No 3. p. 36-39. Article (in Russian)
In proposed article with positions of psychological analysis the reserves of increasing of safety NPP, depended on "human factor", are considered. Based on the results of studies, which are conducted in psychophysiological laboratory of Atom Energy Training Center, Novovoronezh, Russia, the professional development model of operative personnel and most important for safety NPP psychological change, which are accompanied the main stages of professional development of operator, are described. Two opposite directions in professional development: 'descending' and 'ascending', are substantiated. In canvas of analysis the levels of operator behaviour activities: individually ("passive") and personal ('active') are introduced. Only personal ('active') forms of activity in conditions of NPP can provide the constant self-development of operators and, therefore, high level of safety, reliability and efficiency of its actions are proved. The system of conditions for maintenance and development of personal activity forms of operators on the length of the whole professional way, directed on provision safe, reliable and efficient exploitation and management NPP is formulated.
