Intelligent Software System for the Advanced Control Room of a Nuclear Power Plant

The intelligent software system for nuclear power plants (NPPs) has been conceptually designed in this study. Its design goals are to operate NPPs in n improved manner and to support operators' cognitive tasks. It consists of six major modules such as "Information Processing," "Alarm Processing," "Procedure Tracking," "Performance Diagnosis," and "Event Diagnosis" modules for operators and "Malfunction Diagnosis" module for maintenance personnel. Most of the modules have been developed for several years and the others are under development. After the completion of development, they will be combined into one system that would be main parts of advanced control rooms in NPPs. that would be main parts of advanced control rooms in NPPs.
