%SPEAKER NOTES: See comments below
%
\textbf{The Paradox:} Human operators are both essential for flexibility and the primary source of failure
\textbf{Why We Need Humans:}
Strategic decision-making, procedure interpretation, handling novel situations, adaptive judgment, legal authority (10 CFR 55)
\textbf{Why Humans Fail:}
Working memory: 7±2 items, response time: seconds vs milliseconds, cognitive biases (confirmation, anchoring), stress degrades performance 10-50x, error rates: 0.001 → 1.0 under accident conditions
\textbf{Current Division:}
Automated = Emergency protection (trip systems, ECCS) --- terminal operations;
Manual = Strategic operations (startup, mode transitions, power changes) --- routine operations
\textbf{Goal:} Reliability of automation with sophistication of human decision-making
