Abstract

Research and development for enhancing reliability and safety in NPPs have been mainly focused on areas such as automation of facilities, securing safety margin of safety systems, and improvement of main process systems. Studies of TMI-2, Chernobyl, and other NPP events have revealed that deficiencies in human factors, such as poor control room design, procedure, and training, are significant contributing factors to NPPs incidents and accidents [1–5]. Greater attention has been focused on the human factors study. Modern computer techniques have been gradually introduced into the design of advanced control rooms (ACRs) of NPPs as processing and information presentation capabilities of modern computers are increased [6, 7]. The design of instrumentation and control (I&C) systems for various plant systems is also rapidly moving toward fully digital I&C [8, 9]. For example, CRT- (or LCD-) based displays, large display panels (LDP), soft controls, a CPS, and an advanced alarm system were applied to APR-1400 (Advanced Power Reactor-1400) [10]. The role of operators in advanced NPPs shifts from a manual controller to a supervisor or a decision-maker [11] and the operator tasks have become more cognitive works. As a result, HFE became more important in designing an ACR. The human factors engineering program review model (HFE PRM) was developed with the support of U.S. NRC in order to support advanced reactor design certification reviews [4]. The Integrated System Validation (ISV) is part of this review activity.
