It summarizes the existing shortcomings of current human error safety analysis methods in nuclear power from the perspectives of data, model, system, and application, and proposes the future development direction of human error safety analysis technology in nuclear power from the perspectives of data, model, system, and application. It is proposed that Class B human errors during the digital transformation of nuclear power should not be overlooked, and human error safety analysis methods should be applied to jointly optimize the digital transformation path of nuclear power, improve the analytical capability for Class B human error events, and reduce the safety risks caused by potential human errors during the digital transformation process.
