Ail initial domain familiarization consisted of it review of company documentation, observations in the control room, on-plant and in the simulator, and role interviews. In the second phase, critical incident technique (CIT) interviews were carried out with 38 operations team members oil three British nuclear power plants. A total of 314 statements concerned with team working skills were identified from the interview data and used to develop the nuclear team skills taxonomy. The taxonorny had five categories: shared situation awareness, team focused decision making, communication, co-ordination, and influence, with 16 component elements.
