Abstract: The cyber security is one of the important issues in nuclear safety. This study deals with the cyber-attack on the non-safety system of instrumentation and control system, along with the actions of human operator. In this study, the failure of safety functions or safety components were identified from the probabilistic safety assessment result. The failure of safety functions or safety components could be caused by the cyber-attack on the non-safety system. The wrong actions of human operator under the cyber-attack were analyzed based on the emergency operating procedures. The scenarios can be suggested by using those analysis results. The feed and bleed operation is chosen as a target operation. By analyzing those operation steps, we can obtain the list of wrong actions of operator. The type of wrong actions differs from each other according to the step.
