Abstract

During transients or major upsets, operators of a nuclear power plant are faced with a significant amount of information which oftentimes exceeds their capability of processing information in such a time-critical situation. To help resolve this problem of information overload, considerable work is underway worldwide to improve its man-machine interface systems (MMISs). The I&C research team of KAERI is developing a DYNamic Alarm processing System, called DYNAS, to suppress unnecessary or nuisance alarms, and at the same time, emphasize vital information. This paper describes our basic strategy to process alarms in DYNAS.
