| Popis: | There is renewed interest in building new commercial nuclear power plants. Unlike existing plants that have traditional control rooms with large control boards, new plants will have compact digital control rooms. The transition to digital control rooms introduce opportunities for enhanced support (e.g., integrated displays; improved alarm systems; computerized procedures) as well as potential new challenges (e.g., shift from open to private workspaces; changes in workload distribution resulting from reduced control room crew size). This paper describes two simulator tests that were conducted as part of a person-in-the-loop test program to support development and validation of a control room for the US-APWR evolutionary pressurized water reactor plant. While the results are presented in the context of evaluation of a particular digital control room design, they have applicability to design of compact digital control rooms more generally, and point to areas where more research is needed. |
